142 Residence

On a 1.4 acre residential lot in Atherton, California, this family residence presents a playful side of modernism. Asymmetrical accents, both functional and ornamental, present layers that weave together in a bold display of space and balance. With varying depth and extension of exterior walls and rooflines, light and shadow constantly change across the Equitone cement paneling, sinker Cypress siding, stone veneer, and Zinc edges. Under the main unifying roof, large entryway of expansive glazed walls give a view into the core of the home, where hallways and interior walls allow for a visual connection between the front and back yard. More private areas of the home hold a solid form and fewer, strategically placed windows. Inviting exploration while clearly dictating what remains obscured, the home presents a flirtatious undertone on its bold modern structure.
