Winged Retreat

Winged Retreat

Set on a steeply sloping site in the hills of beautiful Carmel Valley, this 2,600 sq-ft private residence offers sweeping views of the surrounding verdant hillsides, which are framed by the twin cantilever roofs over the two living wings.

Innovations

Cantilever Roof Eave
An 18-foot projection achieved by concealing structural depth within the interior. Tapered cantilever members refine the edge.
Minimal Column Design
Strategic steel and concrete cantilevers reduce column presence. A singular column maintains open, glazed expanses.
Concrete Chimney Integration
Board-formed concrete unites structure and design. It counters both gravity and lateral forces elegantly.
