Santa Barbara Design Build Process 
As a Santa Barbara Home Designer with a General Contractor license, Jeff Doubet regularly Collaborates with both the Santa Barbara Architectural and Santa Barbara Construction Communities.
I share Lists of Santa Barbara Architects, Structural Engineers, General Contractors and Artisan Trades that I believe would be best suited for your particular project.
I also enjoy Collaborating with clients that already have an established Team of Santa Barbara Architect, Builder and Artisan Trades in place.
Sometimes all a client needs
is some creative input- an assistant who can help them specify the Vision they see in their minds eye. I enjoy helping my clients in this capacity... and am available on a no minimum, hourly basis!
Santa Barbara Architectural Illustrator
"A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words..." and Santa Barbara Home Designer Jeff Doubet's romantically hand drawn, Architectural Concept Renderings are a favorite Service amongst his clients.
These highly expressive Architectural Renderings are very instrumental in helping a client fully Visualize the Design Elements, Finishes and other wish list items they have chosen... and how each correlate to one another within the entire project.
Jeff has the ability to Interpret and Create a comprehensive "Big Picture" design concept, based on what the client is describing in word, as well as photos, and other collected visuals such as magazine clippings etc.
These Concept Renderings are also helpful during communications with various trades, initial budgeting, as well as in Design Presentations to Montecito or Santa Barbara Architectural Board of Review.
In a Nutshell, the refined Design Concept gives a client a "Visual" Representation of how their overall project will turn out- a Design that Builds a Confidence, long before money is spent on Technical Drawings, Engineering, Permits and Construction.
Santa Barbara Construction Project Management
Jeff Doubet provides a wide range of Project Management Services.
With a dual Background in both Santa Barbara Home Design and Construction, I can help advise you as to how best to Manage your project from Concept , Planning, and Permits to Construction.
I enjoy the process of Bridging the Artistic Design Concept Stage, then Technical Organization of Design Specification and ultimately the hands on practical nature of Art Directing the Santa Barbara Construction Trades.
Design Build your Classic Santa Barbara Home
Every Santa Barbara Homeowner desires an inspired Vision for their Home Renovation.
A talented Home Designer fills an important niche in the Santa Barbara Planning and Design process.
They use their Artistic, Creative abilities and extensive knowledge of Santa Barbara Building Materials to develop preliminary Design Concepts for interior Floor Plans, Exterior Facades and Landscaping.
Here, a Signature Ceiling by Designer Jeff Doubet. An 8 sided Fluted Plaster Ceiling.
Jeff has also recently developed a multi-faceted Plaster Ceiling in a Main Hall of a 1930s Spanish Revival Hotel Lobby renovation on West Beach, Santa Barbara California.
Here, the ceiling was a Creative Solution to resolve several odd ceiling heights, sharp angles and transitions in this 1960s Montecito Ranch Home. (see BEFORE image to the left)
A strategic design move, it softened the harsh hall transition and transformed the very basic entryway into a Warm and Iinviting Entry Foyer with loads of Charm and a distinct Spanish Colonial Revival Personality.
Directly Below: "Casa Buena Vista" A Jeff Doubet Design and Spanish Colonial Revival transformation. This home has a spectacular view of Santa Barbara below, but had the feel of 1960's Tract home.
Jeff Doubet was able to visualize, design and present simple modifications to this modest home that would prove to be big improvements both visually and the home's value.
As an Artist, Designer and Consultant with a General Contractor license-
Jeff Doubet offers the advantage of helping clients visualize the potential for their home and project- from the early Concept Stage... and can also Guide and Assist them through the Planning and Building stages, as well.
2011 Design Trends: Santa Barbara + Montecito Homes
In recent years I seen a growing number of my clients tone down their ambitious remodeling plans and instead, focus collaborations on Design and Construction of Architectural Elements that will add "Charm" and enhance the Perceived Value of their property. Small Santa Barbara and Montecito Homes that exude quality!
Directly Below: A Conceptual Rendering for 1151 Summit Road Montecito California. My Clients were considering the purchase of this Montecito home- in an excellent neighborhood, but the home lacked character.
They commissioned Jeff Doubet to design simple facade changes that would upgrade the existing structure to a quality Spanish Colonial Revival genre of Santa Barbara Architecture.
Directly above, a Jeff Doubet Design Concept Proposal to transform 1151 Summit Road Montecito California. Note that I proposed to leave all existing window and door openings. By constructing some simple Spanish Revival Architectural Details such as an Arched Arcade at previous cantilevered roof, and adding Small Tower with 2 piece Mission Tile Roof- a transformation in to a charming Montecito Spanish Home without re-roofing the entire flat roofed home in expensive roof tile. A simple site wall transformed with Spanish Tile Cap and new Iron Gate in narrowed opening.
I am a Santa Barbara based Specialist that has over 25 years of experience in "Seeing" and knowing how to Create the Charm Giving Elements you and your family will enjoy for many years to come... Authentic Spanish Colonial Revival Detailing, or a wide variety of other Classic Santa Barbara Genres of Interior Design and Construction.
