Set in the beautiful hills of Los Gatos, this residence is an example of a new urban home with a warm modern ambiance. It was designed for a young family with three boys who needed room to run and play. The design is based upon a careful reading of the topography and neighbor's views. We created a linear plan with cascading terraces that curve to follow the bend in the hillside. The cylinder of the dining room, suspended as a complete circle in the bending matrix of the plan, serves as a pivot point in the house plan. The interiors are comfortable and playful, materials include maple wood floors, maple cabinets, custom stainless sink and hood and marble countertops. The exterior is finished with natural copper sheathing at the facade and roof edges, wood siding, slate terrace paving and Trex decking.
