In Santa Barbara, architecture is more than a visual preference — it is part of the city’s identity. Mediterranean and Spanish Revival homes define the region’s neighborhoods, blending timeless design with a lifestyle built around light, outdoor living, and craftsmanship.
At Toro Constructions, we understand that building in Santa Barbara means respecting this architectural heritage. Our approach to residential construction is grounded in tradition, precision, and a deep understanding of regional design.
Mediterranean Design Reflects the Way We Live
Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes are designed for comfort, durability, and elegance. Features such as stucco exteriors, clay tile roofs, arched openings, and interior courtyards are not decorative trends — they are functional elements developed for climate, longevity, and lifestyle.
As experienced custom home builders, we build homes that reflect these principles while integrating modern construction standards. Every detail is considered to ensure the home feels authentic, balanced, and enduring.
These Homes Require Specialized Construction Expertise
Building Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes requires more than general building knowledge. Structural framing, roof geometry, plaster work, and exterior finishes must be executed correctly to preserve the integrity of the design.
As general contractors in Santa Barbara, we coordinate skilled trades and oversee every phase of construction. Our experience allows us to execute complex builds that remain true to Santa Barbara’s architectural character.
Renovating While Preserving Architectural Integrity
Many homeowners choose to renovate or expand existing Mediterranean or Spanish-style homes. These projects require careful planning to ensure additions and remodels feel original to the property.
We specialize in large-scale renovations, including kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling, where structural changes and refined finishes enhance both functionality and design. Our work respects the original architecture while elevating the home’s livability.
Interior Design and Construction Must Work Together
Successful Mediterranean homes rely on balance — inside and out. We collaborate closely with architects and interior designers to ensure materials, proportions, and finishes align throughout the home.
This integrated approach allows us to deliver construction services that feel cohesive, intentional, and crafted rather than assembled.
Why We Focus on Santa Barbara’s Signature Styles
Santa Barbara is known worldwide for its Mediterranean and Spanish Revival architecture. We focus on these styles because they define the region and reflect our commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
Our experience in construction services allows us to build homes that belong here — homes designed to last and to be enjoyed for generations.
