Imagine your home powered, heated, and cooled by sunshine and the ground beneath it. Livecomfortably as you forego thousands of pounds of annual carbon emissions.
That green home is at 1066 Toro Canyon Road—resource and energy efficient, with solarphotovoltaic and geothermal renewable energy systems.
What is a green home? From the street a green home may not look different, but a green home is apractical response to issues that affect us all—increasing energy prices, decreasing water resources,and changing weather patterns.
A green home, as described by Built GreenSanta Barbara and the National Association ofHomebuilders, is a high performance building, designed and constructed to minimize environmentalimpacts and maximize resource efficiency at each step of the development and building process. Greenhome building practices go beyond energy and water conservation to include environmentally sensitivesite planning, resource efficient building materials, and superior indoor environmental health.
In a modern take on the agricultural vernacular of rural California, now-retired Santa Barbaraarchitect Scott Rowland designed a house, guesthouse, and garage for this idyllic Toro Canyon ranch.Surrounded by established orchards and constructed in the footprint of a worn-out 1970s-era houseand garage, this modern green home is composed of simple forms and planes like those of old ranchbuildings. As though built over time for evolving needs, lower flat-roofed house sections abut the tallershed-roofed section, porches and overhangs shelter entries, and the guesthouse perches on thegarage. Exterior surfaces reference adobe blocks and corrugated tin. Native boulders and stones formterraces and stairs.

But in this modern green home, renewable energy is paired with energy efficiency to produceas much electricity as is consumed. Atop the south-sloping roofs, a net-metered 13.5 kW array ofsolar photovoltaic panels generates electricity and backfeeds the grid. Under the north patio,geothermal piping taps the earth’s constant temperature for heating and cooling. Passive solar andcooling orientations give windows and doors winter sun and summer shade, as well as allow cross-ventilation. Building materials and techniques slow thermal transfer, and ceilings and walls are wellinsulated. Natural daylighting, high-efficiency lighting, and Energy Star appliances conserve electricity.
Indoor environmental health is enhanced by hydronic radiant heating, and interior materials andfinishes emit low or no VOCs. Stone tile, aluminum trim, and countertops containing aluminum wasteare long-lived, recyclable, and recycled.
The universal design of this modern green home also provides an environment planned towork for people regardless of age or ability. Single-level interiors have wide doorways andgenerous room dimensions, and are accessible from the exterior via sloping walkways or stairs.
Exteriors are low-maintenance, fire resistant, and built to last with long-lived, recyclable, andrecycled materials. The house, guesthouse and garage will endure and patina beautifully over manydecades. Sandstone-hued slumpstone and Galvalume cladding cover structural concrete wallsstrengthened with recycled flyash. Fleetwood aluminum windows and doors are double-paned.Zincalume standing-seam roofing covers sloped roofs, and flexible concrete overlays flat roofs.Engineered lumber and TJI joists support roof decks designed for extensive green-roof plantings.
The homestead uses a fraction of its monthly Montecito Water District allocation. Water-conserving appliances and fixtures reduce municipal water needs. Ornamental landscaping toleratesdrought. Rainwater percolates into pervious patios, gardens, and orchards. A decades-reliable privatewell supplies water-efficient irrigation. Onsite composting of green waste yields water-retaining mulch.
Make this your own modern green home. The house interior is ready for you to complete to yourpreferences. Imagine. Create. Enjoy.
