Mediterranean Renovations

TEAMWORK: The combined efforts of multiple teams turned this down-to-the-studs project into a dream home.

Tiled roofs, thick stucco walls, large windows, arches, columns, and courtyards the building specifications of Mediterranean architecture not only please the eye, but they also serve a function in their climate namesake.

Those half-tubular roof tiles (always in baked-clay red) capture cool air to insulate the home on hot days. Those thick walls also enhance insulation. In combination, lots of window glass, arches, columns, and courtyards along with balconies and patios blend indoor-outdoor living, a desirable setup in our mostly warm and dry climate. Indeed, in Santa Barbara, it’s all around, from our mission and courthouse to our businesses and homes.

Over the decades, we’ve built what seems like countless Mediterranean homes. Here are a few standout renovations.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED: Perched on steep terrain at the end of an unmaintained roadway, this remodel project presented challenges associated with crew access and below-grade waterproofing. The owner’s biggest investment was to replace a rotten and water-damaged foundation before stylizing interior spaces to better take in the world-class view. Harrison Design performed the architecture, with interiors by Ann James.

CALIFORNIA FEEL: Staying within budget and the home’s original footprint, architecture by Harrison Design transformed compartmentalized interior spaces into an open layout connecting the kitchen to living and dining areas. The resulting floor plan succeeded in providing the owners with the desired California feel, without compromising the building’s structural integrity. Outside, a new staircase connects the home to the pool, and 360-degree views take in the mountains and the sea.

TEAMWORK: After forming a symbiotic relationship with Giffin & Crane during a successful kitchen remodel,

the owners of this four-bedroom, six-bathroom home decided to move forward with an upgrade of the detached guest cottage and, finally, a down-to-the-studs renovation of the main house. As integral players on a design-build team with principal builders and architect Tom Meaney, the clients could confidently adjust their ideas according to site constraints and budget. Ultimately, the new floor plan transformed the old disjointed layout into a flowing space with sophisticated architectural lines and an appreciation of necessary comforts for a growing family.

New Beginnings Brings Awareness of Mental Health Issues Through Brilliant Play

New Beginnings (NB) had a big hit of a fundraiser this year the thought-provoking and entertaining play

Every Brilliant Thing. It both raised awareness of mental health issues and raised funds for NB’s mental health counseling programs serving low-income residents.

Fresh from its run in London’s West End, the play was performed at Center Stage Theater and was followed by a patio reception where guests got to chat with Jonny Donahoe, the one-man show’s star and playwright, and with Associate Director Paddy Gervers. The highly acclaimed play has been performed in 70 countries and in 50 languages. While in town, the duo also performed its new production, Jonny & the Baptists

When asked why he was willing to bring the wildly successful play to our relatively small town, first in 2022 and again in 2025, Donahoe smiled, turned to Executive Director Kristine Schwarz, and said “it was all Kristine.” Calling her a kindred spirit, Donahoe related the bond they formed because of their background in the entertainment industry and their focus on raising awareness about people struggling with mental health issues. He also pointed to a particular desire to start a conversation about mental health in Santa Barbara because of the prevalence here of people living in opulence alongside others who are homeless.

Earlier in her career, Schwarz spent 13 years as a film and television production executive. She is also a seasoned clinician and educator. In an interview, she explained that through a play, audiences can connect deeply with stories, without the discomfort that a client recounting his or her success story could engender. There’s a different filter when you’re learning something through entertainment or art, she maintains, enabling a real understanding.

Every Brilliant Thing, performed in the round with audience participation, is about a boy whose mother attempts suicide. The story follows him through adulthood as mental health affects myriad aspects of his life. The play dovetails nicely with New Beginnings’ work. Since COVID, it has seen substantial increases in people seeking counseling for depression and anxiety. Emphasizing the gravity of

mental health issues, Schwarz stated, “We have to make it safe to talk about it.”

The conversations among guests at the post-show receptions, Schwarz related, were really heartwarming and moving, with guests sharing their own and their family members’ struggles, enabling great connections to form.

Under Schwarz’s leadership, New Beginnings has flourished from a nonprofit in 2012 with a budget of $450,000 and four employees to one with an $11 million budget and 80 employees. The number of volunteer counselors and volunteer clinical supervisors has also grown considerably, to 40 and 12 respectively.

In 2023, to accommodate its expansion, the nonprofit moved into a new space which, thanks to grant funds, they have turned into a vibrant, welcoming environment for its counseling and case management services and for a community space where other nonprofits hold events.

When people walk in, they exclaim, ‘Oh, wow,’ ” Schwarz recounted, and having a nice environment really makes a difference, she added. Both clients and employees want to come to the space because it is warm and has a palpable energy. Also, for the clients, a nice environment helps them feel respected. The program has been growing, with more than 700 clients served in the last fiscal year.

New Beginnings has also seen significant growth in its other programs, including its nationally recognized Safe Parking program, where people living in their vehicles have access to 200 spaces in 31 lots provided by government agencies, churches, nonprofits, and businesses. Established in 2003 by Catholic Charities, with New Beginnings taking over the program in 2004, it is the longest running safe parking program in the country. Last year, 897 clients participated. New Beginnings seeks to expand the program, but is constrained by a lack of space. Despite remarkable outcomes and little incidents, Schwarz laments, business owners are reluctant to participate.

NB created a manual years ago, which it is now updating, for other jurisdictions to follow. In the early years, Schwarz got calls from localities in the western U.S., but now she fields inquiries from across the country. New

Beginnings will soon become the first accredited vehicle shelter in the country by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.

NB’s Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF), a federally funded program, has also gotten national attention. Remarkably successful, this program reduced veteran homelessness from a few hundred families in the county in 2013, when it first received federal funding, down to 50 individuals, though there has been a recent uptick. The program has served as a model for other jurisdictions.

Across all of its housing assistance programs last year, New Beginnings provided more than $3.4 million in temporary financial assistance, primarily through the California Encampment Resolution Fund (CERF) and SSVF. The aid included funds for rent, vehicle repairs, and medical bills.

It takes a village, Christine insists. The center needs landlords offering affordable rentals, entities offering parking lots for its Safe Parking program, volunteers teaching life skills, and donors providing funds, especially with

programs ending.

Recent Historic Agreements May Save Our Oceans

Oceans have long been a dumping area for plastics, pesticides, fertilizers, sewage, and just about everything else. They are also sponges for carbon emissions from our fossil fuel economy. The prevalent attitude has been that our behavior cannot impact such large bodies of water. We are learning this is not the case.

There have been several breakthrough agreements in recent years that are shifting behaviors. A conservation agreement to the High Seas Treaty signed in 2023 set the goal of designating 30 percent of open ocean as protected areas by 2030. These are areas beyond territorial waters and national jurisdictions. The agreement focuses on equitable access to marine genetic resources. Sea weeds, sea sponges, and bacteria are increasingly lucrative to pharmaceuticals, industrial processes, and food production. At the time of signing, only 1.2 percent of open seas were designated protected areas. Getting to 30 percent will be challenging but establishing goals and implementation plans are critical steps. Governments have now agreed to impose restrictions on fishing, shipping routes, and deep-sea mining.

Moreover, this agreement adds the

missing piece to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. The framework to protect 30 percent of land is now joined by commitments to protect 30 percent of water. The interconnectedness of the blue economy and marine ecosystems is now recognized.

A second agreement, one by the World Trade Organization (WTO), aims to reduce overfishing. It requires countries to scale back subsidies (estimated at $22 billion) that encourage unsustainable fishing practices with the goal of protecting dwindling marine life and promoting global food security. It is the WTO’s first treaty centered on environmental protection and its first binding multilateral pact dedicated to safeguarding the world’s oceans. The cutbacks on subsidies are tied to illegal fishing and overfished stocks (estimated at 33 percent of species). The next phase will curb subsidies that fund the construction of vessels in industrial fishing fleets.

As we know from international climate agreements, countries often don’t reach their ambitious goals. Countries fell short on their 2010 pledges to make 10 percent

of coastal and marine areas protected by 2020. Gabon, on the coast of Central Africa, however, offers a model and blueprint for protecting its littoral waters. It created a new network of Marine Protected Areas in 2014, increasing its MPAs from one percent to 26 percent. These areas restrict human activity for conservation purposes with the aim of preserving natural habitats. It has recently committed to the 30 x 30 pledge to protect 30 percent

of its oceans. Gabon designed its MPAs to protect essential ecosystems and key global marine populations like sea turtles. Its protected areas extend 200 nautical miles offshore.

California is doing its part by expanding its network of MPAs offshore along its lengthy coast.
