This Japanese mid-century private residence in Carmel, California, offers a breathtaking blend of architectural elegance and natural beauty. Perched on a cliffside with sweeping ocean views and surrounded by towering spruce trees and lush natural vegetation, the home embraces its tranquil environment.

The design emphasizes warmth and authenticity, with interiors featuring maple paneling and carefully curated vintage mid-century furnishings that reflect the home’s original character. A key element of the remodel is the addition of a private tea room, thoughtfully designed as a serene space for meditation.

This project seamlessly integrates modern comfort with timeless Japanese design principles, creating a peaceful and restorative retreat.
