On California’s Monterey Peninsula, Feldman Architecture reimagined a 1970s Pebble Beach home as a light-filled retreat for a family that wanted more room to gather and a closer connection to the outdoors. Shakertown’s Dolly Varden® tongue-and-groove siding is part of that transformation. Qualified Remodeler credits Dolly Varden as the home’s wood siding in its January/February 2025 feature, “Whole Ordeal.” The renovation earned Silver in the 2024 Master Design Awards in the Whole House More Than $1 Million category.
Western Red Cedar on the Monterey Peninsula
Feldman Architecture took cues from Sea Ranch, pairing stained Western Red Cedar siding with dark anodized metal and concrete. The cedar’s grain brings texture to the exterior, while the tongue-and-groove joints give the walls a steady rhythm. Against the dark metal, the stained wood sets a warmer tone for the home’s clean lines.
That connection to the setting carries through the floor plan. Feldman moved the kitchen into the double-height great room, bringing cooking, dining, and gathering into one space that opens toward the rear patio and golf course. North-facing openings bring daylight into the home, while deep overhangs shade the south side. McNickle Construction built the renovation, with interiors by Raili CA Design and landscape design by Seven Springs Studio.
