Xorin Balbes | XORIN HOMES

Spotlight Designer

Being connected to how you’re feeling is a state of luxury. Luxury is about authenticity and not trying to impress anyone except yourself.

- Xorin Balbes, Designer

Award-winning architectural conservator, lauded designer, and philanthropist, Xorin Balbes discovered his passion and vision for the design and re-design process while renovating his first home in Santa Barbara.

465-Hot-Springs-Road-3

Xorin harbors an impressive high-profile celebrity client list, and is also well known for his remarkable restorations of several architecturally significant properties in the Los Angeles area including the Sowden House, a 1926 Lloyd Wright; Talmadge Villa, the Los Feliz replica of a 17th century Italian villa and the former home of 1920s screen legend, Norma Talmadge, and the award-winning restoration of the 1926 Art Deco Security-First Pacific Bank.

Xorin’s impressive succession of re-designs and renovations encouraged him to develop his own philosophy for home design entitled, SoulSpace. The process was born out of Xorin’s discovery of a deeper purpose and meaning in his life, and his aspiration to share this deeper more soulful way of living with others.
