Site size: 5 acres
Project size: 775 square feet
Program: Despite its location on an extremely steep and densely wooded site, the house provides an accessible second dwelling near the client’s primary residence for an aging family.
Location: Los Gatos, California
Solution: To maintain ease of access, the house incorporates the driveway and garage into a formalized entry sequence, transitioning fluidly to the front door, which is located beneath a cantilevered breezeway that frames views across Silicon Valley. Given the site’s dramatic slope, this entry terrace serves as the only viable outdoor open space for the home.
