Simply beautiful concrete, natural stone veneer and low maintenance, architectural plants work together. The landscape on this new home construction was last and final priority leaving little in the budget for it's completion. Not a problem for a clean, contemporary landscape! The clean lines and subtle texture of gray colored concrete contrasts the softness of perfect grass. Grass that doesn't need mowing, edging or watering and never dies in cold winter months. Walking on it is close to walking on a carpet. Sound too perfect? Has to be man made and indeed it is. Synthetic turf grass has come a long way in the last several years.

Inspiration for a rustic brown one-story wood gable roof remodel in Seattle

Klopf Architecture and Outer space Landscape Architects designed a new warm, modern, open, indoor-outdoor home in Los Altos, California. Inspired by mid-century modern homes but looking for something completely new and custom, the owners, a couple with two children, bought an older ranch style home with the intention of replacing it.
Created on a grid, the house is designed to be at rest with differentiated spaces for activities; living, playing, cooking, dining and a piano space. The low-sloping gable roof over the great room brings a grand feeling to the space. The clerestory windows at the high sloping roof make the grand space light and airy.
Upon entering the house, an open atrium entry in the middle of the house provides light and nature to the great room. The Heath tile wall at the back of the atrium blocks direct view of the rear yard from the entry door for privacy.
The bedrooms, bathrooms, play room and the sitting room are under flat wing-like roofs that balance on either side of the low sloping gable roof of the main space. Large sliding glass panels and pocketing glass doors foster openness to the front and back yards. In the front there is a fenced-in play space connected to the play room, creating an indoor-outdoor play space that could change in use over the years. The play room can also be closed off from the great room with a large pocketing door. In the rear, everything opens up to a deck overlooking a pool where the family can come together outdoors.
Wood siding travels from exterior to interior, accentuating the indoor-outdoor nature of the house. Where the exterior siding doesn’t come inside, a palette of white oak floors, white walls, walnut cabinetry, and dark window frames ties all the spaces together to create a uniform feeling and flow throughout the house. The custom cabinetry matches the minimal joinery of the rest of the house, a trim-less, minimal appearance. Wood siding was mitered in the corners, including where siding meets the interior drywall. Wall materials were held up off the floor with a minimal reveal. This tight detailing gives a sense of cleanliness to the house.
The garage door of the house is completely flush and of the same material as the garage wall, de-emphasizing the garage door and making the street presentation of the house kinder to the neighborhood.
The house is akin to a custom, modern-day Eichler home in many ways. Inspired by mid-century modern homes with today’s materials, approaches, standards, and technologies. The goals were to create an indoor-outdoor home that was energy-efficient, light and flexible for young children to grow. This 3,000 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom new house is located in Los Altos in the heart of the Silicon Valley.

Beautiful perennial combination for spring color. The Hardy Ice plant continues to bloom thru the summer and into early fall. Both plants are very easy to grow if given full sun and adequate drainage. Very drought tolerant, fast growing, lovely spilling over boulders or edge of wall. Attracts pollinators too. The phlox has lovely green foliage year round. The ice plant will die back somewhat in winter pending the temperature.
