Cota Street Redevelopment

In 2015, DMHA had the privilege of redeveloping Dal Pozzo Automotive and the Hendry Brothers Building on the corners of Chapala and Cota Street. Designed in 1930 by the noted architect Roland Sauter, the Dal Pozzo building was initially constructed for the Freeze and Freeze Auto Supply Company with the motto, "everything for the automotive." Meanwhile, the corrugated metal Hendry Brothers Building was first built in 1915. We added an L-shaped second floor, an ADA door, and a rooftop deck while bringing the entire project to code. Throughout the design process, maintaining the historicity of these iconic Santa Barbara properties was a priority. We carefully protected the existing corrugated metal skin while meticulously painting the new siding to match the original. Multi-paneled steel and glass windows reference the industrial windows found on the former C.D. Reily Machine Works building on Salsipuedes Street.
