Modern meets beach. A 1920's bungalow home in the heart of downtown Carmel, California undergoes a small renovation that leads to a complete home makeover. New driftwood oak floors, board and batten walls, Ann Sacks tile, modern finishes, and an overall neutral palette creates a true bungalow style home. Photography by Wonderkamera.

The house and its guest house are a composition of iconic shed volumes sited between Highway 1 to the East and the end of a cul-de-sac to the West. The Eastern façade lends a sense of privacy and protection from the highway, with a smaller entrance, high windows, and thickened wall. The exposed framing of the thickened wall creates a floor to ceiling feature for books in the living room. The Western façade, with large glass barn doors and generous windows, opens the house to the garden, The Sea Ranch, and the ocean beyond. Connecting the two façades, an enclosed central porch serves as a dual entrance and favorite gathering space. With its pizza oven and easy indoor/outdoor connections, the porch becomes an outdoor kitchen, an extension of the main living space, and the heart of the house.

A fresh take on a more traditional Dining Room design. Turquoise velvet curtains and turquoise glass detailing on the chandelier add a bright hint of colour to the gold colour palette.

Style is metropolitan - an updated blend of traditional and contemporary. The chandelier is Curry and Co. The table and chairs are custom made. Photo by Danny Piassick House designed by Charles Isreal

We wallpapered the slanted wall to hide the many and major imperfections of the old house.

The home has a stunning open floor plan as can be seen from the top of the stairs. The Vivacé windows create clear sight lines into outdoor spaces and make the home feel open and modern.
