The former home was a local gem know as The Slavin House designed by renowned architect Richard Neutra in the 1950s. It was tragically destroyed by a fire in 2021, but miraculously, the original plans survived. A new design by local firm Flynn Architects has adapted and expanded the original Neutra concept, bringing the 1950s mid-century design into the modern era, while paying homage to the original design. With desirable features such an open floor plan, luxury primary suite, private guest wing, expansive modern kitchen and indoor/outdoor flow of space, the new design creatively captures 7,555 sf of interior space, and an expansive 3,500 sf roof deck and roof lounge with incredible ocean and city views.
The architect, Joseph Flynn, AIA has received project design approval from the City of Santa Barbara Architectural Review Board and is available to continue the active permit application through to completion.
