Santa Barbara Home Design Consultant: Jeff Doubet 805-698-6777

 

Design Interior ResidentialHi, my name is Jeff Doubet: Your AFFORDABLE Santa Barbara Home Designer, Remodeling Coach and Project Manager-

As a Professional Designer and Design Consultant with a California General Contractor license, I offer a special skill set - A Unique Combination of traits that I believe will be of great value to you as your Design Build Consultant.

A Bit about my Background

Truth be told, I regret not pursuing a Degree in Architecture while in College. Instead, I pursued a degree in Fine Art- focusing on Sculpture and Drawing.

As with most peoples lives- circumstances and opportunities present themselves and life morphs in to something beautiful.

In the 1990's I was a successful Architectural Products Designer and Product Development Manager for a local, A-List manufacturer. I enjoyed traveling the World and Winning numerous National Design Awards for these Products, and the Company.

Since my teenage years... I have also been involved in Home Construction in some form or another.

I won't bore you with the details, but ever since- I have been morphing my Unique Set of Skills, Connections and Career Background in to my current Home Design + Consulting Business. I am well connected with licensed Santa Barbara Architects, Structural Engineers and Santa Barbara General Contractors. Please give me a call to set up an Affordable Initial Consultation to learn how I can help you assemble this team for your project. I can help you from Design Concept to Completion!

Spanish_Revival_Style_Kitchen_Designers_Santa_Barbara

 

About 12 years ago people started taking notice of the projects I was Designing and Building... Eventually I had enough of a following: Clients interested in my Artistic Vision for Interior and Exterior Santa Barbara Architecture- Ever since, I have been Designing and Project Managing Home projects in Santa Barbara + Montecito on a Full Time basis.

 

Santa Barbara Interior Design by Jeff DoubetI now enjoy a wide range of clients, from Soccer Mom's to Grammy Award Winning Recording Artists- and they all have a common desire to develop unique and authentically Artistic and Charming Interior and Exterior Spaces.

I have found that good Santa Barbara Architecture boils down to Five Key Ingredients: 1) Aesthetic Design + Layout 2) Technical Plans/Working Drawings/Permits 3) The California Engineering/Building Code 4) Choosing Building Materials + Finishes 5) Artistic Direction of Quality Construction.

I am fortunate to offer Design and Build Consulting Services for all of the Steps. I have an established, solid network of Drafters, licensed Santa Barbara Architects, Structural Engineers and Santa Barbara General Contractors that I regularly collaborate, and work with. I can help Guide and Advise you on which will be best suited to your Budget, Project Size and Aesthetic Detailing.

I bill my Santa Barbara Home Designer, Project Manager, Remodeling Coach and Design Consultant Services at an hourly rate- Giving you the Creative Freedom and Flexibility to budget my Talents and Consultant Services as you see fit-

Montecito_Kitchen_Designers

No job is considered too small... and I enjoy all types of Projects in which I can offer my Creativity, Building Knowledge and Home Design Capabilities.

 

New Construction Santa Barbara Ranch HomeI also enjoy working with clients that are Focused on making their New Homes and Estates feel like they were built 60 or 80 years ago... and have a Montecito or Santa Barbara Architectural Heritage.

This takes Careful Planning, an Artistic Eye, and a Steadfast Concentration in Collaborating with the Project Owners, Builders and Artisans... and requires an Ability to Communicate via design ideas, renderings, specifications... and then transform those designs and ideas in to a Built Environment that will ultimately have a feeling that it has been in Existence for a long time.

Santa_Barbara_Integral_Color_Plastering

Designer Jeff Doubet meets with Project Owners and their Lead Plasterer discussing Integral Color Plaster options that will best coordinate with the Authentic Sandstone Wainscoting, Stone Steps and Stone Pool Coping and Deck.

As per Jeff Doubet's Architectural Concept Rendering (above), this Sketch was developed long before we got to this stage of Construction.

It allows the Project Owners a way to Visualize how their Home, Architectural Details and Landscaping Design will all coordinate together for a seamless and Cohesive Design.
