About Palo Alto Modern
From Cramped Cottage to California Dream
Initially, when the clients approached us, their snug cottage no longer fit the bill. Eagerly, they expressed a desire for a more expansive abode that truly embodied their evolving lifestyle. Specifically, they envisioned a place to effortlessly unwind, entertain, and relish the California sun.
Designing Warmth in Open Spaces
To address their needs, we meticulously crafted a modern, open floor plan. Simultaneously, we infused it with a sense of warmth and texture. Through the use of floor-to-ceiling glass sliders, we successfully bridged the indoors with the vibrant outdoors. Furthermore, the consistent use of wood radiated a deep, inviting ambiance. Although the overarching theme was openness, we recognized the owners’ apprehension towards overly vast spaces. Consequently, we incorporated a double-sided fireplace column, subtly separating the Great Room into distinct dining and living zones. Lastly, for an added touch of finesse, nature-inspired artwork adorned various spots, amplifying the home’s refined palette.
