Dirk Denison Architects at Carmel Residence Green Home is great care was taken to open the rear of the green home materials up to the garden at the northeast corner of the site. The dense and steep site of this weekend home in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California required a precise refinement of the volume of the existing building to maximize the unused breadth of the Green Home home and the views of the Pacific. The Carmel Residence Green Home cedar siding and mahogany windows warm the exterior volumes and help to balance the scale of the home to the density of its environment, woven in and out of view through the surrounding homes and tall, native cypress trees. The Carmel Residence Green Home low-profile steel cable structure supporting the glass ceiling of the courtyard maximizes the glass surface area to allow the sun to warm the core of the green home and protect it from the strong sea winds.
