Design ideas for a huge traditional partial sun front yard gravel driveway in New York.

Klopf Architecture, Arterra Landscape Architects, and Flegels Construction updated a classic Eichler open, indoor-outdoor home. Expanding on the original walls of glass and connection to nature that is common in mid-century modern homes. The completely openable walls allow the homeowners to truly open up the living space of the house, transforming it into an open air pavilion, extending the living area outdoors to the private side yards, and taking maximum advantage of indoor-outdoor living opportunities. Taking the concept of borrowed landscape from traditional Japanese architecture, the fountain, concrete bench wall, and natural landscaping bound the indoor-outdoor space. The Truly Open Eichler is a remodeled single-family house in Palo Alto. This 1,712 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom is located in the heart of the Silicon Valley.

Most porch additions look like an "after-thought" and detract from the better thought-out design of a home. The design of the porch followed by the gracious materials and proportions of this Georgian-style home. The brick is left exposed and we brought the outside in with wood ceilings. The porch has craftsman-style finished and high quality carpet perfect for outside weathering conditions. The space includes a dining area and seating area to comfortably entertain in a comfortable environment with crisp cool breezes from multiple ceiling fans. Love porch life at it's best!

Security cameras are the perfect way to be home, even when you're not. Not only do they add an extra layer of security and peace of mind, but they also serve many practical purposes for my clients. With security cameras, you can easily check if your Amazon delivery arrived, see if your kids left for school on time, find out which dog left a mess on your lawn, identify who hit the mailbox, check the weather at home, confirm if your mother-in-law visited, or see if the pool guy showed up as scheduled. These are just a few of the many questions that security cameras can answer while you're away. Stay connected and be at home, no matter where you are.

The entry gates were replaced with modern and more practical arms for easier and more reliable access to the community. The vent pipe for the plumbing can be seen on the guardhouse, which has a fully functioning restroom and ADA accessible.
