Winsor Design Architecture

Our differentiation

Architect Al Winsor helps property owners and small developers evaluate residential, commercial, and tenant improvement projects before major commitments are made. With licenses in both architecture and construction, he applies over 20 years of local experience—along with feasibility studies, test-fit analysis, and advanced modeling tools—to clarify options, constraints, and tradeoffs early in the process.

Experience Grounded in Practice, Informed by Modern Tools

My architectural work is distinguished by early feasibility analysis using advanced modeling tools, design informed by real construction experience, and deep familiarity with Santa Barbara’s permitting and regulatory process.

AI tools and scenario testing 

I use AI-assisted analysis, test-fit studies, and architectural modeling to explore options, tradeoffs, and potential impacts early—before design development and major commitments are made.

Construction knowledge

Holding licenses in both architecture and construction, I evaluate projects with an understanding of how they are actually built—helping align design intent with cost, sequencing, and constructability.

Local permitting experience

Deep familiarity with local permitting and approval processes
With over 20 years of experience in Santa Barbara, I help clients navigate zoning, planning, and regulatory considerations early—reducing surprises and delays later in the process.
