Residence

Los Altos Hills, CA

Project Description:

The house was designed so that it’s residents could feel the time of the day and understand the seasons of the year.  A "courtyard" with a circular skylight in the middle of the house implies a connection to our sun and allows it’s rays to penetrate the center with a circle of sunlight that moves to various parts of the house as the sun changes positions in the sky throughout the year.  A stone wall divides and connects master from service spaces to reflect the ways we live today.

This house is a cosmic machine that controls light and enables it’s residents to connect with the universe.  It’s natural and techy materials and systems reflect our lives in Silicon Valley.
