Carpinteria Beach House

With a rich structural history, this project included remodeling the great room area, adding a new bedroom wing, and adding to the beach-friendly Craftsman Cottage style. High windows were incorporated for natural light, as well as several pairs of French doors that open to the rear yard.

“My wife and I have had the pleasure of working with Natalie Phillips and CSA Architects for nearly 20 years. Natalie transformed what was once a relatively small beach shack into one of the most admired homes on our block.

Now we’re embarking on a new phase with an ADU on the property, and we love how thoughtfully Natalie is designing the two structures to blend together so seamlessly.

Natalie brings professionalism, creativity, and real passion to her work. She consistently gives us thoughtful options along the way, which has been incredibly helpful in the decision-making process. She’s also well connected with an outstanding network of skilled contractors who deliver quality work on time and to our standards.

Bottom line: Natalie is simply a joy to work with.”
