Introducing the Jewel Box Residence, a stunning two-story modern residence designed by the renowned firm Ogawa Fisher Architects.

Located in the tech hub of Palo Alto, California, this compact lot challenged the opposing needs of house vs. yard, but the architects embraced the border between closed and open, creating a sense of protection and comfort to the exterior while bringing the experience of the outdoors inside.
