Becker Henson Niksto’s elegantly modern interpretation of a pirate ship is made of board-formed concrete, stucco and cedar. A Godzilla statue constructed from old motorcycle parts hints at the home’s youthful inhabitant. In keeping with the client’s millennial personality, landscape architect Barefoot Design installed what Schumacher refers to as clumpy “Dr. Seuss-style grass.” Every Halloween of Ryan Mori’s childhood, his father tricked out their house in Santa Barbara with a “Pirates of the Caribbean” theme, which boasted elaborate decorations like sails on the roof and a wooden ship’s bow. “Trick-or-treaters who dressed as pirates got an extra bag of themed toys,” Mori recalls. So when Mori, now 24 and a property manager, aspiring writer and video game designer, demolished the residence to build something more to his tastes, he asked architects at Becker Henson Niksto to incorporate understated references to those seasonal adornments into a modern design.
