The Carmel Tudor Cottage
A small Carmel lot with a historic cottage was owned by a California family for many years. The couple wanted to expand the cottage to make it more livable so they could eventually retire in Carmel.
The Carmel community wanted to preserve their unique history of small summer cottages to maintain their village character while preserving the property owner’s rights to expand their homes. The project was approved and constructed for the couple to retire comfortably with all the current amenities for a contemporary lifestyle. Ray Parks and Associates early efforts with the owner’s patience helped establish the communities’ protocols and procedures in accordance with the Interior of Secretaries standards to allow the historic structure to be preserved in perpetuity.
