Ellen Rockne and Brian Andreas’ prefab Santa
Barbara home is designed to leave a light footprint.
The structure, with its hardwood and rusted-steel
exterior, is as natural-looking as it is eco-friendly.
The couple wanted their landscape to follow suit, and
not only because green living is important to them.
A low-impact landscape, rich in earth tones from
stone and drought-adapted plants, would visually
bring their garden and home together, as well.
