Santa Barbara is a place of enduring beauty, where coastal living meets cultural depth. Rob Mills Architecture & Interiors brings an award-winning approach to residential design—creating homes that reflect the setting, support the lifestyle, and elevate the everyday.

Framed by the Santa Ynez mountains and the open waters of the Pacific Ocean, this region is defined by its soft light, Mediterranean climate, and graceful architecture. From whitewashed Spanish Revival villas to sleek contemporary homes perched above the shoreline, Santa Barbara seamlessly blends tradition and innovation. It is a city of terraced gardens, red-tiled roofs, ocean breezes, and mountain views—a place where good living feels effortless.

RMA is equally recognised for its contemporary and heritage projects, with a portfolio of internationally awarded homes that demonstrate deep design sensitivity and technical precision. This balance of timeless craftsmanship and forward-thinking design makes our practice well-suited to Santa Barbara and its discerning clientele.

Our homes are defined by building efficiency, the latest technology, and the highest quality living experience. Each design is shaped by the land and climate, where orientation, materials, and thermal performance are integrated from the outset. For us, sustainability is part of luxury, enabling homes to feel calm, comfortable, and enduring.

As a holistic practice, we integrate architecture, interior design, and styling into a seamless, unified experience. Each residence is tailored to the individual, thoughtfully considered for the life they aspire to, and grounded in a strong connection between the building and its landscape.
