Albany, CA
This new contemporary single-family home maintains contextual harmony with the surrounding neighborhood by referencing the materials and forms of more traditional homes on the street. The front balconies provide a second-story outdoor area that engages the street without compromising the privacy of neighboring backyards, while the rear yard includes a covered patio and outdoor kitchen. The building’s distinctive massing accentuates the volumetric experience of interior spaces. The vaulted ceilings and open plan allow natural light into the heart of the home.
