EVOLUTDESIGN PRESENTS: #Sustainable #Paradise in #BIGSUR #CALIFORNIA

Hey fans, William here. I love this place. #BigSur is great too! #StudioSchicketanz 's latest #NetZero project offers unforgettable views of the #PacificOcean. William Lane, Editor-in-Chief, https://www.evolutdesign.com By taking cues and inspiration from the surrounding landscape, Studio Schicketanz, led by Mary Ann Schicketanz, designed a breathtaking, sustainable home that literally blends into the hillside for a Silicon Valley-based family, their two daughters, and live-in parent, looking for a new lease on life. What was initially planned as a weekend getaway has, given the pandemic, turned into the ultimate quarantine escape, where they can enjoy the oceanfront pool and views, a game room, a den, a large kitchen, and everything else that the special property offers. Schicketanz and her team appointed the home with the finest products and finishes, including, but not limited to, pieces from #CoupD’etat, #HollyHunt, #Larsen, #Moooi, #PietBoon, #Miele, #Brizio, #B&BItalia, #TaiPing, #PhillipJeffries, #Giorgetti, #Pindler, #RestorationHardware, and #ConcreteWorks. The pool features petrified wood stumps by #LeosEnderle and #RodneyHunter, while the sculptural artwork of #EricGushee and #CaseyMcCafferty, as well as pieces by #SilviaPoloto, are found throughout the home. Each of the #beds, #ottomans, #bookcases, and #mediacabinets was custom designed. Material selections include local granite from Hollister, CA for the rock walls, integral plaster for the “cubes” placed in front of the rock walls, and Savannah Brown Duras flagstone to complement the wall stone and entryway connectors. The “shell” was kept in all neutral and earth tone colors, while the interior showcases accents of color from the custom blend mosaic walls and #Venetian plaster accent walls. Besides the home’s luxe, high-end finishes and furnishings, and given its extreme location, the home is expected to achieve net zero due to power and hot water (for the pool) generation from solar panels and Tesla Power Walls, which will power the house when grid power is not available. The power produced onsite covers all of the power needs of the house, as well as charging for 2 EV vehicles.
