Serving estates and homes in Montecito, Carpinteria and Ojai.
New clients by referral.

An architect, a builder and an interior designer look after your house.

We hold the keys, and we show up when someone needs to be there.

We are project driven, building and animal lovers.

Sure, we cover the day to day when you are away: a delivery, an alarm, a leak, a contractor who needs coordinating.

We also design additions, decorate for the holidays, redo bathrooms and watch your pets!

Service Professionals

One of us three, every time.

Here for you! We...

  • Hold the keys and are available when you need us.
  • Perform regular house visits to check on anything and everything.
  • Stay overnight and look after your pups!
  • Meet deliveries, vendors and alarm calls.
  • Have the house ready when you arrive.

We look closely

  • Walk the house inside and out, and write up each visit.
  • Manage contractors and service people, and check their work.
  • Work alongside your household staff.
  • Ready the house for each season.

We do the work

  • Design, decoration, construction and installation.
  • Done by the people who know your style and how you like things done.

The three of us

We are the only people that visit your home - there are no employees, no one else has your keys. We work with great consultants, like Scott, our go-to native plant landscape architect from Ojai, but no one else enters your home.

We are owners and landlords of our own properties - with 60+ years of combined experience in the industry, we understand what needs attention on your property.

Andrew Slaughter

Architectural designer

Andrew is a true jack of all (design) trades, from digital products to luxury homes. With a degree in Construction Management from LSU and having worked for architects since he was 20 years old, he has deep experience in client services. Originally from Lafayette, Louisiana, Andrew grew up in his family's restaurants and real estate business - he knows how to make a gumbo, monetize a building, and charm your parents!

Tyler Canali

Builder

Tyler is a production specialist. When you need a kitchen or a bathroom done in a week, he is your guy. Having grown up surfing in Florida and New Jersey means he not only rips but is humble and grateful to call the Gold Coast his home. Tyler holds a degree in Construction Management from the University of North Florida, and he is active in the dog rescue and foster community across southern California.

Sara DeTullio

Interior designer

Sara is cosmopolitan and chic, a lifelong student and practicing designer in all things luxury and decadent. She currently runs the LA office of the internationally recognized interior designer, Marc Ange, and she absolutely adores her two daughters, Sofia and Emma... and wishes they would visit her more often! Sara is originally from Milan and travels often to Europe to coordinate with material and fixture suppliers, along with up and coming talent at Marc's studio in Paris.

Five homes. No more.

The three of us can only be in so many places. So we look after five homes at a time, and we know each one very well.

Keys and privacy

  • Your keys are labeled with a code, never your name and address.
  • Alarm and entry codes are kept in a password vault, they are never written into a document.
  • We do not name our clients or photograph their houses. We do not post to social media and our vehicles are unmarked.

Membership

Every house is different, so every membership is too. We start with the house: how often it should be visited, how many nights someone should stay, and what needs watching, designed, or built.

From there we set a monthly fee. Days of design, construction or installation are added when the house needs them. We go over all of this with you when we first talk.
