Arcadia featured in Feb. issue of Santa Barbara magazine
Arcadia Studio is honored to have a project featured in the February/March edition of Santa Barbara magazine.
The featured landscape's design and installation, headed by Laurie Romano, one of Arcadia's Principals, was four years in the making. The opportunity to work on a property with such stunning natural beauty was both humbling and thrilling. Both Laurie and her husband, Keith Rivera, who designed the house, are interviewed in the article. Here's an excerpt - Laurie discusses the reflecting pool:
"It brings the ocean in when you're sitting down, and you also have a sculptural piece that is active and bounces light under the eaves. We developed it when the house was under construction. We actually set up chairs on the concrete slab and set the level of the four-sided infinity edge within the owner's sight lines. The surface material is porcelain tile made to look like Corten steel - it was a great find."
