Eccolo Design has opened a brand new design studio in Santa Barbara. The father-son led firm is owned by Wally and Matthew Hofmann and offers clients two decades of combined design and build experience.
Eccolo Design LLC offers the full spectrum of residential design services including interior, land planning, and landscape design.
Prior to launching a sustainable projects career, Wally was founder and publisher of the Mammoth Times weekly newspaper. Matthew is a graduate of Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo where he received a Bachelors’ degree in Architecture and studied a year in Florence, Italy. The company’s name, Eccolo, is pronounced “echo-low” and is Italian for Here it is.
“Green building is ‘all the buzz’ in the design industry, but it’s more than just a fad” said Wally, “we consider sustainability a minimum requirement that all quality architecture must achieve.” The partners have been designing, building and remodeling high-end homes in Santa Barbara, Montecito and Mammoth since the 1980s.
Wally believes it’s one thing to say you design and build “green,” but it’s another to have completed the rigorous requirements of sustainable certification practices. Both partners are LEED Accredited Professionals, and Eccolo is a member of the US Green Building Council.
“We specialize in developing projects that explore innovative methods of design that are beautiful, affordable, and respectful to the earth and its resources,” said Matthew. “A residence should be as much of a representation of where it is as to who lives in it.”
