A modernist gem on the edge of the world-famous Carmel Beach has just hit the market.
This two-bedroom, 1,992-square-foot home offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean in Carmel, California.
This landmark three-storey residence was built in 1999 by a renowned architectJohn Thodos (1934-2009Done. He designed this home for himself with the goal of creating a living space with 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean. He has made the most of the property's ** location, infusing every corner of the house with plenty of natural light.
The interior of the house is a mix of glass, wood paneling, and industrial elements. The living, dining and kitchen areas offer unrivalled sea views, and the two bedrooms downstairs exude comfort and tranquility.
The design featured large windows, and Todos's dislike of "planes in design" led to the cubist design of the house. The vibrant spiral staircase maximizes the space while adding a visual element that echoes the surroundings of the home.
Mr. Thodos used his signature on the staircase'Ferrari red'and as design details throughout the home, the aesthetic relies on the use of natural finished wood, concrete, glass, and white plaster, plus his favorite red metal and steel.
Stairs lead up to a large roof deck with stunning views of the ocean and beach.
