Jeff Shelton is an architect like no other in Santa Barbara. He thrives on originality.
“I take on every project like it is my only project and like it’s the last project I will ever do,” Shelton tells Santa Barbara Talks.
Shelton recently won approval from the Santa Barbara Historic Landmarks Commission to design a building, which will be home to a tequila bar, on the 700 block of State Street.
In this podcast, he talks about some of his most notable projects, including the Ablitt Tower, the Vera Cruz House, and El Jardin. He talks about his working relationship with his brother, David, who creates the ironworks on his signature projects.
In a city where much of the architecture tends to resemble Spanish Colonial Revival style, Shelton looks to create pieces and art that engage people.
Listen to him explain why and how he does it in this fun episode of Santa Barbara Talks.
