Project Overview
Located in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, Krypto Project is a contemporary residence that introduces a modern architectural expression within one of the Central Coast’s most iconic communities. Surrounded by Carmel’s renowned coastal scenery, artistic heritage, and timeless architecture, the home balances clean lines with a natural material palette that allows it to feel both distinctive and connected to its surroundings.
Designed to evolve alongside its environment, the residence embraces the beauty of natural weathering as an integral part of its architectural character.
Material Selection & Performance
The exterior features CUSTOM furfurylated modified wood cladding, selected for its rich natural appearance, exceptional durability, and graceful weathering characteristics. Over time, the wood develops a distinctive silver-gray patina that enhances the home’s architectural expression while maintaining long-term performance in the coastal climate.
Manufactured through Kebony®’s proprietary furfurylation process, the modified wood offers enhanced dimensional stability, durability, and resistance to decay. The result is a high-performance exterior material that combines the warmth and authenticity of real wood with the longevity required for demanding exterior applications, making it well suited for modern coastal architecture.
Project Team
Samuel Pitnick led the architectural design, creating a residence that thoughtfully balances contemporary architecture with the natural beauty and character of California’s Central Coast.
McNickle Construction served as the builder, bringing exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail to the project while delivering a home designed for lasting quality and performance.
