EVOLUTDESIGN PRESENTS: #TEHAMA2 #LUXURYHOME IN #CARMELBYTHESEA #CA

I have always loved #carmelbythesea. I know #ClintEastwood has some of his hands in this pie but this is a quiet, beautiful #bedroomcommunity. The #home — the #TEHAMA2 - is in the #TehamaCommunity of #CarmelValley in #California. If you're into wine, nature, and just plain old California, make a trip and have fun! William Lane, Editor-in-Chief, https://www.evolutdesign.com - READ ON - Did you know that Studio Schicketanz is world-renowned for its #stunning #coastalarchitecture with dynamite #interiors that ooze CALI-FOR-NIA? As one of the Central Coast’s leading #architecture and #interiordesign firms, Studio Schicketanz is sought after for its sensitive approach to the landscape, #sustainablearchitecture techniques, and sophisticated yet comfortable #interiors. For founder #MaryAnnSchicketanz, #AIA, #Carmel, and the surrounding #BigSur and #Monterey region have been a source of endless inspiration since she first arrived from #Austria over 30 years ago. It has led to a career-long investigation into the relationship between landscape, building materials, form, and nature. She considers the natural beauty of the #coastal region a muse—everything from its #CypressTrees and dune grasses to the ever-present ocean—all of which defines her signature palettes and materials. “In our work, we seek to do justice to the land, our clients, and our own architectural ambitions,” says Schicketanz. The firm brings this ethos to its wide-ranging portfolio, no matter the project’s location. To date, their California work spans the entire coastline—from #LagunaBeach to northern #Marin—and they have also completed projects across the Western United States, everywhere from Hawaii to Texas, and Europe. TEHAMA 2 In Clint Eastwood’s coveted Carmel Valley Tehama community, this #netzero #residence celebrates the land, #sustainability, and the power of architecture to make us feel safe. The virgin site was a gently sloping meadow, at the edge of a mixed forest that features a signature — and interesting — oak tree. While wanting a contemporary design, the clients loved the traditional #agriculturalarchitecture of the Valley, as well as the indoor/outdoor lifestyle the region's warm climate allows. In reference and homage to the local vernacular, Studio Schicketanz used simple shapes made of local stone, traditional board and batt siding, and metal roofing. SCENIC DRIVE Studio Schicketanz rebuilt the entire ocean frontage of this residence without increasing square footage for a client with a longstanding passion for the region’s natural beauty. By creating a terraced roof design to maximize views, the southern half of the residence now accommodates a master suite next to a living, green roof. On both levels, the design's prominent trellises filter light while giving foreground to the architecture. Inside, the home’s soft palettes are reflected in the delicate white oak floors and locally sourced stone that was hand-selected for the in-home, pizza oven. A #ChristopherPeacock #kitchen (https://peacockhome.com/) and custom marble pieces, carved from a solid marble block, further ground the elegance of the open-plan space. #TEHAMA 1 Studio Schicketanz organized the design of this house around a centrally cleared knoll, prioritizing outdoor space with a deep exploration of the ways a structure can merge with a specific ecology. Textured stone walls give rise to controlled cement steps that lead to a crisply #modernist structure. Detailed #geometricframing and a #cantileveredroof create a shaded trellis that wraps the structure. Light is at play everywhere, from the dappled light that hits the stone walls to the reflection of the majestic neighboring tree along the house's expansive glass façade. The result is unique vernacular #modernarchitecture. #LOBOS VIEWS This stunningly modern #CarmelHighlands residence overlooks #MontereyBay and #PointLobos to the north. The 6,414 square-foot home is constructed of stone and exposed wood, giving it an earthy feel and the effect of being nestled into the hillside. Studio Schicketanz mitigated the visual impact of the home from above by densely planting each of the exposed roof decks with the help of a local biologist and horticulturist. Once inside, the main living space features a sophisticated series of rooms with an open floor plan. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open onto a large patio that takes advantage of the spectacular ocean views.
