Inspiration for a mid-sized farmhouse guest carpeted bedroom remodel in Austin with white walls

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.

THEME Created for a baby girl, this
room is magical, feminine and very
pink. At its heart is the Carriage Crib,
surrounded by a large oak tree with
delightful animals, baby blocks, a cozy
window seat and an upholstered play
area on the floor.
FOCUS The eye-catching size and
detail of the Carriage Crib, with
a dainty canopy held in place by
woodland creatures immediately
catches a visitor’s attention, and is
enhanced by the piece’s fascinating
colors and textures. Wall murals,
fabrics, accent furniture and lighting
accent the beauty of the crib. A
handsome Dutch door with a minientrance
just for her ensures that this
princess feels at home as soon as she
steps in the room.
STORAGE The room has closet
organizers for everyday items, and
cubicle storage is beautifully hidden
behind the wall letter blocks.
GROWTH As the room’s occupant
grows from baby to toddler to
child and ‘tween, the room is easily
transformed with age-appropriate
toys, pictures, bedding and fabrics.
The crib portion of the carriage can
be removed and fitted with a larger
mattress, saving both time and money
in the future. Letter blocks are easily
updated by simply removing the letters
and replacing them with mirrors, colors
or other images.
SAFETY Standard precautions are
taken to secure power outlets and keep
exposed shelving out of reach. Thickly
padded upholstered squares featuring
colors and patterns that coordinate
with the fabrics on the window seat
and valance create a visually inviting,
comfortable and safe place to play.
