TRES PARAGUAS
CARMEL CALIFORNIA

BOB AND AIME CARROLL, WHO LIVE IN PEBBLE BEACH, CALLED ME IN 2004. AIME DECIDED I WAS THE ONE TO BUILD A PROJECT FOR THEM. THEY WANTED TO EXPERIMENT, TO CREATE A ONE OF A KIND LIVING ENVIRONMENT FOR THE MONTEREY PENINSULA, SOMETHING REALLY NEW AND INNOVATIVE. THE PROPERTY IS PERFECT, AT THE TOP OF GENTRY HILL, JACKS PEAK AS THE BACKDROP ON THE LAND SIDE AND A PANORAMIC VIEW OCEANSIDE, ALL THE WAY TO SANTA CRUZ. I DESIGNED AND BUILT A COMPLEX OF 5 HOUSES AROUND A LARGE, ENCLOSED COURTYARD WITH A POOL, CANTINA AND SPA.
THE NAME, "TRES PARAGUAS", SPANISH FOR 3 UMBRELLAS. THREE GIANT ROOFS OF CORTEN STEEL FLOAT FREE OVER THE 5 BUILDINGS BELOW. THE COMPLEX IS NOW BUILT OUT, WE ARE IN THE STAGE OF FINISHING KITCHENS, BATHS ETC. I AM CUSTOM FURNISHING IT AS WELL.
QUITE AN EXPERIMENT! A SUCCESS, I THINK.
