Meadow House sits within the secluded Santa Lucia Preserve near Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA, United States, shaped by Mark English Architects. The house answers a multigenerational Korean-American family’s brief for a Californian home with a distinctly Korean heart, set against strict conservation rules and a powerful meadow landscape.

Inside and out, the project reads as a quiet refresh that leans into wood, stone, and brass while opening to the San Francisco Bay.
