Monterey Mission

Monterey Mission is one of several architectural styles indigenous to the Monterey Peninsula. Only the front part of this home was old and truly reflected its Spanish influences. Expansion over the years was not in keeping with the original aesthetic. Honoring the owner’s vision, we took down the newer sections and rebuilt them to achieve a consistent feel. The Monterey Mission design is now evident throughout the residence. Paint was stripped off the fireplace to reveal a beautiful Carmel stone façade and decorative tiles added to complete the look. Saltillo tile pavers, dark wood beams and plaster treatments seen in bull nosing, arches and the range hood speak of a bygone era. Outside, the decomposed granite driveway, prominent with historical buildings, creates a rainwater-pervious surface.
