Indisputably one of the most enchanting
and elegant small houses in San Miguel, this lot remained untouched for
some years because of its small size and odd configuration. In 2001 Win
and Janet Carrick together with architect Juan Carlos Valdez saw the
possibilities on this triangular piece of land, and almost entirely via
e-mail since they were in the States during its construction, they worked
closely together and the result is this wonderfully unique home. The
dining and living areas are charmingly furnished with warm, comfortable
furniture, the cushions on the dining room chairs hand embroidered in the
State of Michoacán. Colorful folk art, statues, family portraits and
paintings adorn walls and counter tops. The intimate yet serviceable
kitchen is witness to the odd shape of the lot. The most outstanding
feature is the rectangular pond guarded by St. Francis, which runs from
outdoor to in, keeping the elements out via a plate glass window.
Outdoors, a tranquil ramada (indoor/outdoor entertainment area) is
furnished with plush equipale furniture and contains a barbecue area for
entertaining. Upstairs the first thing one notices are the spectacular
collection of masks which the Carricks found (and continue to collect)
during their many travels throughout Mexico. More folk art adorns the
guest bedroom with a large wall hanging covering one wall which Win and
Janet found in Mexico City. The master bedroom contains much art by local
artist Miguel Angel whose sculptures and paintings are to be found at many
of San Miguel’s most respected boutiques. Much of his work is also to be
seen downstairs. An outstanding oversized rosary adorns the wall behind
the bed. Leading from the bedroom is an appealing plant and flower filled
patio containing a Jacuzzi tub. Up another set of stairs they have
planted a rooftop garden with a delightful tile and cantera fountain,
seating and sunning spots, and another barbecue area. All the fountains,
gardens and patios were designed and planted by local master landscape
architect Timeteo Wachter. Win and Janet, two of the House & Garden
Tour’s most loyal volunteers, divide their time between San Miguel and
North Carolina. |
