The owner’s world class art collection and a few choice antiques such as the Ico Parisi dining table lend this space substance and partner well with the carefully sourced new furnishings. Most of the carpets and furnishings were specifically designed by the architects for this residence.View on our website Photo: Robert Canfield Photography Dani Ridge House: In order to conceal this home from its uphill neighbors a shelf was cut into the narrow slice of grassland located between an access road on one side and the steep slopes of the West Coast on the other. The uphill land extends as a green roof over the underground portions of the home-terminating on the gently curved roof of the living room.All utilities, including the 5000 gallon water storage tank, were placed underground in order to preserve the surrounding landscape.View on our website Photo: Robert Canfield Photography Coastlands House: Majestic oaks dominate this north to south sloping site at the edge of the continent, the vast expanse of the Pacific lying to the West. The large glass stacking sliders open to the patios beyond – providing great cross ventilation and a seamless connection to the outdoors. Most of the finish materials are reclaimed and the 4.4kW photovoltaic system was designed to generate 90% of the home’s power usage.View on our website Photo: Robert Canfield Photography Carmel Mid-Century LEED: Like many residences of the mid-century era this home has great flow and well-proportioned volumes, but was in need of an extra bedroom as well as a new kitchen and bathrooms.
