Portola Valley Modern
Stunning valley views from this heavily wooded site, this earthy modern home was deftly woven in between dozens of blue oaks. A very open modern home, but with earthy touches of stone, carefully stained wood siding to match the blue oak tree bark, and lots of glass to take advantage of views all around, but still maintains plenty of privacy. Careful modulation of windows, glass doors overhangs, and trees to create a truly net zero energy home.
