About Carmelo

Revitalizing a Mid-Century Modern Classic

Interior Redesign for Modern Families

The remodel introduces additional bedrooms and bathrooms, skillfully meeting the needs of a growing family. Simultaneously, it opens up the public areas, creating spaces that are both inviting and practical for group activities.

Exterior Elegance Meets Coastal Charm
