The home sits on a challenging "inside corner" lot, with approximately 6 feet of rise from curb to street. The home is accessed via staggered short flights of Chicago common brick clad steps, through a Chicago common brick arch with custom provencal-inspired wrought iron gate, and into the Entry Courtyard enclosed by the main residence, guest casita, and 6 foot McDowell Mountain Ranch stone clad walls.

Imagine a home that whispers luxury rather than shouts it. That's the essence of a Contemporary Elegant Exterior Home. Here's a detailed description to spark your imagination: Curb Appeal Clean Lines: The overall impression is one of simplicity and order. Straight lines dominate the design, with minimal curves or ornamentation. Geometry in Play: Rectangles, squares, and other geometric shapes are used to create a visually interesting facade. High-Quality Materials: Stucco, stone veneer, or wood panels adorn the exterior, often in a combination for added texture. Think muted, natural tones for a timeless look. Windows and Doors Large Windows: Expansive windows bathe the interior in natural light and blur the lines between indoors and outdoors. Picture large panels of glass or floor-to-ceiling windows. Minimalist Door: A sleek, modern door with clean lines complements the overall aesthetic. Pops of Color While neutral tones reign supreme, a touch of color can add personality. This could be a brightly painted front door, a pop of color in the landscaping, or strategically placed planters with vibrant flowers. Putting it Together Roof: A flat roof or a low-pitched gable roof maintains the clean lines. Modern materials like metal or high-quality asphalt shingles are popular choices. Landscaping: Simple and elegant landscaping with clean lines and muted tones complements the home's architecture. Think manicured lawns, strategically placed shrubs, and pops of color from flowers. Overall Vibe The Contemporary Elegant Exterior Home exudes sophistication and timeless style. It's a home that makes a statement through its clean lines, high-quality materials, and subtle hints of luxury. It welcomes you in with a sense of light, openness, and understated elegance.

Atherton has many large substantial homes - our clients purchased an existing home on a one acre flag-shaped lot and asked us to design a new dream home for them. The result is a new 7,000 square foot four-building complex consisting of the main house, six-car garage with two car lifts, pool house with a full one bedroom residence inside, and a separate home office /work out gym studio building. A fifty-foot swimming pool was also created with fully landscaped yards. Given the rectangular shape of the lot, it was decided to angle the house to incoming visitors slightly so as to more dramatically present itself. The house became a classic u-shaped home but Feng Shui design principals were employed directing the placement of the pool house to better contain the energy flow on the site. The main house entry door is then aligned with a special Japanese red maple at the end of a long visual axis at the rear of the site. These angles and alignments set up everything else about the house design and layout, and views from various rooms allow you to see into virtually every space tracking movements of others in the home. The residence is simply divided into two wings of public use, kitchen and family room, and the other wing of bedrooms, connected by the living and dining great room. Function drove the exterior form of windows and solid walls with a line of clerestory windows which bring light into the middle of the large home. Extensive sun shadow studies with 3D tree modeling led to the unorthodox placement of the pool to the north of the home, but tree shadow tracking showed this to be the sunniest area during the entire year. Sustainable measures included a full 7.1kW solar photovoltaic array technically making the house off the grid, and arranged so that no panels are visible from the property. A large 16,000 gallon rainwater catchment system consisting of tanks buried below grade was installed. The home is California GreenPoint rated and also features sealed roof soffits and a sealed crawlspace without the usual venting. A whole house computer automation system with server room was installed as well. Heating and cooling utilize hot water radiant heated concrete and wood floors supplemented by heat pump generated heating and cooling. A compound of buildings created to form balanced relationships between each other, this home is about circulation, light and a balance of form and function. Photo by John Sutton Photography.

Sumptuous spaces are created throughout the house with the use of dark, moody colors, elegant upholstery with bespoke trim details, unique wall coverings, and natural stone with lots of movement. The mix of print, pattern, and artwork creates a modern twist on traditional design.

The exterior of the home is an amazing compilation of triangles, composing an intricate network of overlapping shapes, yielding numerous outdoor, elevated spaces with expansive views of the surrounding vineyard.
