The Atherton House is a family compound for a professional couple in the tech industry, and their two teenage children. After living in Singapore, then Hong Kong, and building homes there, they looked forward to continuing their search for a new place to start a life and set down roots. The site is located on Atherton Avenue on a flat, 1 acre lot. The neighboring lots are of a similar size, and are filled with mature planting and gardens. The brief on this site was to create a house that would comfortably accommodate the busy lives of each of the family members, as well as provide opportunities for wonder and awe. Views on the site are internal. Our goal was to create an indoor- outdoor home that embraced the benign California climate. The building was conceived as a classic “H” plan with two wings attached by a double height entertaining space. The “H” shape allows for alcoves of the yard to be embraced by the mass of the building, creating different types of exterior space. The two wings of the home provide some sense of enclosure and privacy along the side property lines. The south wing contains three bedroom suites at the second level, as well as laundry. At the first level there is a guest suite facing east, powder room and a Library facing west. The north wing is entirely given over to the Primary suite at the top level, including the main bedroom, dressing and bathroom. The bedroom opens out to a roof terrace to the west, overlooking a pool and courtyard below. At the ground floor, the north wing contains the family room, kitchen and dining room. The family room and dining room each have pocketing sliding glass doors that dissolve the boundary between inside and outside. Connecting the wings is a double high living space meant to be comfortable, delightful and awe-inspiring. A custom fabricated two story circular stair of steel and glass connects the upper level to the main level, and down to the basement “lounge” below. An acrylic and steel bridge begins near one end of the stair landing and flies 40 feet to the children’s bedroom wing. People going about their day moving through the stair and bridge become both observed and observer. The front (EAST) wall is the all important receiving place for guests and family alike. There the interplay between yin and yang, weathering steel and the mature olive tree, empower the entrance. Most other materials are white and pure. The mechanical systems are efficiently combined hydronic heating and cooling, with no forced air required.

This client came with an existing sofa and wall colors but no idea what to do with the rest of the space. She loves color and pattern but was unsure how to use them. Together, we accented existing neutrals with eye-catching mid-century style chairs and chose shades of turquoise and tangerine to bring interest.

This window treatmet design consist of swags in a red crinkled faux silk, banded in a similar gold fabric. The Swags and panels are constructed and stapled to three wooden decorative rods. This treatment is over 130" high and 160' wide. Because our shop only has an 8' ceiling, the treatment had to be constructed in sections. The layout was done half at a time, due to the width. After working out the design with a string, the treatment was constructed in three sections-two sides and a middle. Each swag and panel were cut and sewn complete, then stapled starting with the center section and then the sides. the three sections and the raised portion of the swag were attached onsite. After the treatment was installed, we dressed it by skirting out the side panels to show off the banding and trim on the mitered corners. The end result is a stunning window treatment which frames the view of a small lake. This custom design was developed considering that the client wanted an over swag in a red tone and an under swag in a light sheer fabric. The client also wanted the sheer fabric to cover the top arched window but allow some of the trim to show in the corners of the arch. Our client loved shiny fabric and trims and wanted the "wow" factor. Since the home was a couple of hours from our business, we worked a lot by phone and fax. During the design phase we took large sheets of clear plastic, on which We had drawn our template, and hung it over pieces of ceiling tile attached to our wall. We then overlaid more plastic, on which we strung our design and then drew out the lines with marker. We took a picture, printed it in black and white and faxed it to the client. She faxed it back with changes, and so on, until, we had perfected the design. With this method, we viewed the design in parts and were not able to see it complete until it was installed.

Think of an umbrella. The metal spines start at a central point and flare outwards towards a stiffened fabric edge. At that taut outer edge sit the faceted walls of glass. The metal umbrella spines are the mammoth steel beams seen in the photos supporting the house and radiate back to a central point. That central point is a curved steel and glass staircase stretched like a long slinky up through all three floors and wraps around a cylindrical teak elevator.
