A 3,000-square-foot showcase of modern architecture in San Carlos, this custom residence features modern amenities rooted in traditional craftsmanship. The design highlights high-efficiency Uni-Lux architectural window packages, large-format porcelain veneer, and vapor-blasted concrete accents. Built under veteran master builder oversight, Gary Keeth delivered a light-filled sanctuary engineered for contemporary performance and lasting durability.
Sanctuary Within the Modern Form
Building a custom modern home in San Carlos requires balancing clean architectural profiles with warm, comfortable living areas. The vision for this 3,000-square-foot residence was to establish a light-flooded envelope that captures sky views while maintaining complete privacy from neighboring properties. The structure features expansive primary living volumes defined by German Uni-Lux window systems, providing superior thermal insulation and uninterrupted spatial flow.
Executing a modern build with flush architectural returns leaves zero margin for error. The exterior façade pairs smooth finishes with large-format porcelain-veneer columns and vapor-blasted concrete accents, requiring precise alignment during installation. From zero-tolerance structural framing to custom primary suite finishes, every detail was constructed under master builder supervision to translate complex modern aesthetics into enduring quality.
Gary’s Perspective
"One of the challenges was making sure the floor-to-ceiling window glazing elements aligned vertically and horizontally, seamlessly integrating the indoor and outdoor living spaces. Crisp, clean interior lines delineate the surfaces throughout. This home is a prime example of how technical expertise allows us to push design boundaries of modern minimalist design, while ensuring the home is fully resilient for decades to come."
