Santa Barbara Beach Folly

Hidden in a lush secret garden just out of view at one end of a 90-foot lap pool is the Santa Barbara Beach Residence’s “folly.” It’s a place to exercise, get a massage, do yoga, read, meditate, or relax after a swim. This wonderful open-air structure was designed by NMA, then hand-fabricated from solid teak by barefoot artisans in Bali, and shipped to California to be permanently assembled on site. The fishscale copper roof shingles are a nod to the nearby Pacific Ocean. Collaborations like this one always result in unique features tailored to our clients’ lifestyle!
