Completed 2001

The 11th Street Residence began as a remodel and addition to a typical Californian Spanish style cottage. As design work progressed, the addition grew to the point where a new house was created.

This house has a simple, modern plan of discrete rooms that flow easily between each other to exterior spaces. Oversized sliding doors and windows enhance views and spatial connections throughout the house. These spaces evoke the informal, casual lifestyle of our clients and their children.

By combining a one-story living space at the front of the house with a two-story volume further back, the 3,000 square foot home feels modest and appropriately scaled for the neighborhood. A palette of neutral colors and textures reinforces its simplicity.
