Los Altos House on a Hilltop

Los Altos, CA

KCRH collaborated with the building architect to conceptualize alternative site plans at the earliest stages of development. This exploration led to the realization that maximizing the front yard — with its ideal sun orientation, preferred views, and existing privacy screening — should be the primary site design goal. The final house plan responds to this arrangement through its strong indoor/outdoor relationship, with an infinity pool extending out across the south-facing slope. Peripheral patio and dining spaces flank the pool, maximizing opportunities for play and entertainment. In the smaller back yard, a covered porch roof protects the family lounge and dining area.
