Brisa — Designing Women House Tour

Brisa (2025), the final home in the Pine Trees development on Casanova, marks Julia's architectural debut in Carmel, featured in the Carmel Heritage Society's Designing Women house tour. Joining architect Thomas Bateman Hood, AIA, Julia drew on contemporary Brazilian architecture — custom wood brises that filter light and frame views toward Pebble Beach, and an open interior that keeps the ocean horizon in view. An architecture of light, air, and warmth — Brazilian bossa, at home in coastal Carmel.

Jeffers Cabin — 2025 AIA Monterey Bay Honor Award

Built in 1902 by George H. Richardson, the cabin was poet Robinson Jeffers' first Carmel home and one of the village's last log cabins. The design reconstructs the original 600-square-foot cabin — cedar rounds, matched wood windows, restored redwood doors — and adds a fire-resistant stone-and-slate addition set into the slope above, joined by a courtyard beneath a timber pergola. The design received the 2025 AIA Monterey Bay Honor Award in the Designed but Not Built category; the project is now completing entitlement.

Julia joined KRML Radio's Pub Talk with Alvarado Street Brewery for "Great stories begin close to home," aired June 25, 2026. She spoke about arriving from Brazil in 2022, meeting Thomas Hood through the Carmel Heritage Society — serving as a docent at Carmel's Frank Lloyd Wright house — and returning four years later with Brisa featured on the Designing Women tour, bringing Brazilian architectural features to a home shaped around its oaks.
