I had never heard of the Santa Lucia Preserve in Carmel Valley until architect Jonathan Feldman called and asked me to look at one of his projects. What an incredibly magical place; Caterpillar House, in my opinion, is one of the stars of the Preserve. The first LEED Platinum home on the central California coast, the architecture and its surroundings inspired the design. We chose a neutral palette, vintage furnishings and organic fabrics, like the cotton bedding in the master bedroom.
