House with apartment for rent in Palo Alto

Studio Feldman Architecture designed a 400 square meter house in Palo Alto, California, USA. The Sanctuary residence belongs to a couple preparing for retirement. The clients wanted their new home to be smaller in size and cozier than the one they lived in with their children until they became adults and independent.

Walking under the branches of an old oak tree, guests cross a series of spacious courtyards before reaching the house. The interior spaces are connected to various garden areas, creating unique landscapes and allowing architecture and landscape to blend into one another.

The house rises above the ground, protecting root zones and engaging in a dialogue with trees. Wide overhangs and terraces erase the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, expanding living areas.

Three pavilions span the entire plot. The thoughtfully placed apartment with a separate entrance on the second floor of the building is intended for rent.
