Designed as a coastal retreat for a pair of busy young professionals, this home is a direct response to a tight lot in the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea. A detached garage and covered breezeway cling to the home at the rear of the property creating a compound-feel that embraces a trio of large redwood trees nearer the street. Large sliding barn doors, abundant south facing windows and an open plan lend the home an airy indoor/outdoor feel which belies the spatial constraints of the 4000 square foot lot on which the home sits.
