Ikeniwa, Pond Garden, is a departure from the expected. In a coastal village defined by heritage, this newly finished sanctuary introduces a rare architectural language: a precise, minimalist dialogue between the legacy of I.M. Pei and the tranquil soul of an Asian garden. Rather than competing with the landscape, the architecture frames it. A main home of 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, the great room serves as a glass-walled gallery for Carmel Bay. Floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve the boundary between the interior and an expansive outdoor ocean-view terrace with dry gardens. The aesthetic is disciplined and serene, with features including Poliform cabinetry, Asian artifacts, integrated Miele appliances and expansive marble island. The homes western afternoon exposure ensures dramatic sunsets over the bay. The lower level is dedicated to quietude. The primary suite w/ custom fireplace is a private viewing pavilion opening to the courtyard and central garden pond. A separate 800-SQ FT ADU offers a level of finish rarely seen in secondary dwellings. With gourmet kitchen and living area overlooking the pond garden, it functions as a true second residence for guests. Ikeniwa is a rare convergence of cultural heritage and modern minimalism seldom found in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea.
