Designed as a study of rural “right size” design, High Meadow Ranch is conceived as a home for two which can expand to host an extended family, threaded into a crest of the Santa Lucia range. The remote site offers panoramic views and a focal point in the middle of a sloping knoll but is bifurcated by a “No Vertical Zone”.

Near Carmel by the Sea, discreetly nestled in an oak grove at the edge of a meadow in the 20,000-acre Santa Lucia Preserve, this lovely contemporary take on a rural English cottage is sited to harmonize with the landscape’s wild beauty and maximize the residents’ enjoyment of living fully immersed in nature.

The 7,000-square-foot dwelling is comprised of a series of gabled forms, an exterior palette of cedar shingles and stone references the rugged surrounds while oak, fir, and cedar wrap the interiors in rustic warmth.
