A modern, wood-paneled building with large windows and a covered entrance, surrounded by lush greenery.

Feldman Architecture has completed Guzhai, a biophilic house nestled amidst mature trees and vegetation on a private flag lot in Los Altos Hills, California. The structure features two perpendicularly layered forms, with the second floor lightly floating above a grove of mature oaks, offering views of the San Francisco Bay. The L-shaped configuration encloses a protected courtyard and pool, enhancing the indoor-outdoor living experience.
