Serenity Residence
Serenity; Carmel Highlands, California
Serenity is a Wallace Cunningham-designed residence in the Carmel Highlands of California. Zahner provided the home with a bespoke stainless steel enclosure, and supplied the engineering, fabrication, and installation of the residence’s custom stainless steel scope.
The surface of the roof is finished in Angel Hair stainless steel with standing seam hardware. Zahner provided the same Angel Hair finish throughout the interior and exterior stainless steel surfaces. This includes the residential exterior and interior fascia. It also includes the garage door cladding and other architectural accents as part of the residential architecture.
The artistic approach brought by Wallace E. Cunningham’s residential design is described by Brad Towle of Sotheby’s International Realty:
Architecturally shaped like a butterfly, the ocean dances below the home, rainbows of light twirl through the glass walls, and the majesty of nature embraces your soul upon arrival. The style mimics exuberance of Italian Baroque and simplicity of Japanese minimalism.
