Three Umbrellas – Tres Paraguas, 566 Aguajito Road, Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA 93923, USA
Priced at £12.6 million ($17.5 million, €16 million), the 12,482 square foot house was designed by architect Ron Mann for Bob and Aime Carroll in 2004 and described by him as an “experiment, … a one of kind living environment [and] something really new and innovative”.
Formed as a complex of five structures around a large enclosed courtyard with a pool, catina and spa, Tres Paraguas is dominated by three giant roofs of corten steel and features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 half-bathrooms.
Enjoying “sweeping views” of the Monterrey Peninsula and the Pacific Ocean beyond, the property stands on a lot that extends to a total of 4.75 acres. It is within 10 minutes of downtown Carmel and is described by Fichelson as “a spectacular modern estate”.
