Stone Villa is a 4,637-square-foot residence by Feldman Architecture, located on a one-acre ridge within the Santa Lucia Preserve in the coastal hills near Carmel and Big Sur. Conceived as a response to the steep contours and restored native meadow of its ridgetop site, the project arranges four detached stone pavilions—a living pavilion, owner’s suite and office, pool cabana/guest suite, and garage—stepping with the land to minimize grading and visual impact. These structures are connected through pathways, gardens, and courtyards, supporting a series of indoor-outdoor living experiences while reinstating the hillside’s ecological character after removal of invasive species. Early climate and site analysis informed siting, reducing construction footprint, cost, and carbon impact while addressing wildfire resilience and net-zero energy goals.
