This family home brings the serenity of a rural retreat to bustling Silicon Valley. Approaching from the street, experience the warmth of the wood façade, and notice how it obscures all but a glimpse of the interior. Only upon entry does the home reveal views near and far via a glass-walled great room. These views, along with the infusion of natural light, lend a feeling of expansiveness to the carefully proportioned spaces.
Follow the crenelated rear façade to discover a series of outdoor terraces, each linked to an interior room. These intertwined spaces create varied instances of indoor/outdoor living, bathe the interiors in warming natural light, and allow the home to live larger than its square footage would suggest.
Ascend to the upper level to find a loft office, which offers elevated views of the verdant site, access to a roof deck, and a connection to the great room below. A lightwell wraps around the office, bringing balancing light into both levels and gently signaling the passage of time throughout the day.
This bright, airy Silicon Valley modern home is designed to promote well-being for the entire family, with a diversity of spaces that bring beauty and inspiration to all the day’s activities.
