Retained by Stanford University to design off campus faculty housing in a quaint Palo Alto neighborhood named, appropriately, “College Terrace”, our charge was to design homes for sale with more of a “custom” feel than your average spec home. To keep costs down, we developed prototype 2 story and 1 story plans for the relatively narrow lots Stanford had acquired, then created 6 unique exterior designs, one for each parcel.
With a mix of 3 contemporary and 3 traditional designs, S-Squared provided not only architecture, but also interior and landscape design for each of the properties. Compared to similar homes in the same price range offered to Stanford faculty, the S-Squared designs sold quickly.
