Piedmont, CA
This new contemporary home in Piedmont was unanimously and enthusiastically approved by the Planning Commission and neighbors. The wedge-shaped, down-sloped lot informed the geometry of the home and inspired a truly unique design. Use of a butterfly roof allowed us to capture natural light and views at the rear of the house. The sunken library acts as a creative transition from the street level to the bedroom floor below. This feature improves the experience of descending into a reverse floor plan. Some of the family-friendly features include good lines of sight from floor to floor and an au pair suite. The large balconies and patio spaces create an open, indoor/outdoor living experience and, together with the built-in wetbar and wine cellar, make it a gracious entertainment space.
