Santa Barbara-based Blackstar Construction Group (probably not named after my favorite Radiohead song) is a general contractor specializing in Mission / Craftsman woodwork, interior architecture and detailing.
While their website does show off some very appealing jobs, many more of their projects are up on Flickr for the world to see, photographed by their friend Justin Wagner – I’m actually surprised more craftspeople don’t take this approach – and it’s easy to tell that they really take pride in the quality of their wood and skill. Some of my favorites:
- simple critique racks for the Brooks Institute of Photography
- terrific period-tile master bathroom remodel in Santa Barbara
- nice custom handrail for a backyard terrace in Santa Barbara
- contemporary custom A&C home in Santa Barbara [kitchen / deck]
- a kitchen island upgrade / makeover in Santa Barbara [1 / 2 / 3]
- an interesting Mission-style fireplace in Goleta
- very nice built-in shelving
Actually, the name comes from the song! Radiohead Berkeley Greek shows in 2006……..
