Joe Fletcher Atop a ridge in the Santa Lucia mountains of Carmel, California, an oak tree stands elevated above the fog and wrapped at its base in this ranch retreat. The weekend home’s design grew around the 100-year-old Valley Oak to form a horseshoe-shaped house that gathers ridgeline views of Oak, Madrone, and Redwood groves at its exterior and nestles around the tree at its center. The home’s orientation offers both the shade of the oak canopy in the courtyard and the sun flowing into the great room at the house’s rear façades. This modern take on a traditional ranch home offers contemporary materials and landscaping to a classic typology. From the main entry in the courtyard, one enters the home’s great room and immediately experiences the dramatic westward views across the 70 foot pool at the house’s rear. In this expansive public area, programmatic needs flow and connect - from the kitchen, whose windows face the courtyard, to the dining room, whose doors slide seamlessly into walls to create an outdoor dining pavilion. The primary circulation axes flank the internal courtyard, anchoring the house to its site and heightening the sense of scale by extending views outward at each of the corridor’s ends. Guest suites, complete with private kitchen and living room, and the garage are housed in auxiliary wings connected to the main house by covered walkways. Building materials including pre-weathered corrugated steel cladding, buff limestone walls, and large aluminum apertures, and the interior palette of cedar-clad ceilings, oil-rubbed steel, and exposed concrete floors soften the modern aesthetics into a refined but rugged ranch home.

A remodel of a midcentury home, with family room addition, new pool and patios. MAKE drew inspiration from the existing horizontal lines of the existing midcentury residence, also complimenting those lines with the addition of vertical architectural gestures and a new family room with a heightened roof line. We site planned the home to shelter the pool and enhance the sense of privacy and as an extension of the livable area. https://www.makearch.com/residential-projects/bel-air MAKE Architecture | www.makearch.com | 323-669-0278

This dressing room needed an update and to coordinate with the new Primary Bathroom remodel that was happening at the same time. The homeowners wanted to add finishes and details to the space that elevated the look and feel of the room. This dressing room is adjacent to the Master Closet and has storage and a sit-down make-up area with a sink. The new cabinetry has drawers for organizing jewelry and accessories for when getting dressed. A marble countertop, crystal chandelier and two mirrors in a silver metallic finish heighten the level of luxury in this space.

Timeless materials such as soft green tiles, wood cabinetry, warm brass fixtures and black accents were combined with modern functionality to create a calm and spa -like retreat in this main bathroom renovation.
