We love the challenge of odd-shaped lots, as they are often the driver of interesting forms and spaces. For this cul-de-sac lot in Los Altos with five angled property lines, we created an innovative design with two wings wrapping around a front entry courtyard.
The larger wing contains the garage and a light-filled main living area with high ceilings and a covered rear patio. The second wing features a master suite and four additional bedrooms. The home also has a south facing, triangular below-grade rear patio to bring light and air to the partial basement.
Generous living areas allow the home to function equally well as a hub for social gathering as well as private family life.
