Maravilla Santa Barbara

Nestled on 20 acres of lush grounds surrounded by eucalyptus trees and the San Jose Creek, Maravilla Santa Barbara encompasses a tranquil, resort-like space for its residents to call home. Seeking to renovate their independent and assisted living spaces, Maravilla Santa Barbara chose to embrace the timeless charm of Spanish Revival architecture, a style that defines the city’s unique character and is revered throughout the region.

Having completed a prior project for Senior Resource Group at their Maravilla Scottsdale location, we were thrilled to collaborate once more. Partnering with renowned interior design firm Perkins Eastman, we provided procurement, project management, and installation for this transformation. Collaborating closely, we were dedicated to preserving the Spanish Revival style that defines both the senior living community and the wider Santa Barbara area. We curated furnishings that encompassed natural tones and textures, perfectly complementing the architecture’s timeless elegance. Dark wood ceilings, white walls and tiled floors provided a stunning canvas for neutral-toned furniture with natural wood elements. We procured selected pieces from our trusted partners Bernhardt, Falcon, Fairfield Chair, Arteriors, H Contract, Four Hands, and Palecek.

California’s stringent fire safety regulations for fabrics and furnishings, coupled with the state’s higher subcontractor costs, presented unique challenges. However, we navigated these complexities efficiently to ensure both safety and budget alignment. By implementing a two-phased installation process that accommodated varied lead times, we were able to deliver the project to the client’s utmost satisfaction. Michael Garcia, Director of Facilities Planning for Senior Resource Group, says, “Living Revolution and their partners did an excellent job bringing our project to life. Their planning, communication, and execution were outstanding.”

The result is a senior living community that feels both refined and cohesive, where timeless design meets contemporary practicality. In close collaboration with our partners, we transformed Maravilla Santa Barbara into a sanctuary that reflects the natural beauty of its surroundings and the lasting charm of Spanish Revival design, elevating senior living in the heart of California.
