Romantically hand drawn conceptual design renderings and presentations. From a practical standpoint, I always propose an artistic tone, vision and design for your upcoming project. It is my desire for clients and their families to visualize how they will feel while living in their renovated home. If you have a child-like imagination, it is something you can do long before the project is built.
These concept drawings are also a wonderful starting point for collaborations with a variety of talented teams. Independent architects, structural engineers, general contractors and the artisan trades. All can be shown these early ideas for your dream home, and will be able to weigh in on their particular expertise as they help you with your next steps.

Hi my name is Jeff Doubét. I have been specializing in Santa Barbara Spanish-style home design since 2003. I personally write these blog posts and am the photographer behind every image. You are guaranteed a first person perspective on tried and true tips and tricks for building these designs.

Add mystery, intrigue, privacy and security with a gated entry with thick wall and tile roof. When designing and building your courtyard home, a set up like this is idea.
