WOODSIDE CALIFORNIA HOME
Woodside Architecture
Architecture in Woodside, California is a blend of luxury that has a deep respect for the natural environment. Holder Parlette’s contemporary aesthetic and focus on sustainability fit perfectly with Woodside’s common thread of high-end modern design blending seamlessly with nature.
Our materials palette include wood, stone, and metal, with expansive windows, and open floor plans. This allows us to create a more natural connection between indoors and out.
Aligned with our materials choices is a careful consideration for the land that serves in developing serene and private environments, where our architecture complements the backdrop of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Contemporary Architecture Blends Indoors and Outdoors
We redesigned this 1980s Woodside home to create a modern and spacious home that could easily accommodate more Family. The home sits amongst towering redwoods and gorgeous scenery, so blending the indoors with outdoors was a priority.
To address these needs, large skylights were installed above the central stairway, and window sizes were increased throughout the home, significantly enhancing the natural light flow into the interiors. A large sliding door in the master bedroom now opens onto a wedge-shaped deck, which wraps elegantly around a majestic redwood tree, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
Expansion for Family
The home was originally undersized for a growing young family. The renovation not only modernizes the home but also embraces its natural surroundings while meeting the needs of a growing family.
On the lower level, a new ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) was added to accommodate guests and extend the living space off the main floor. The exterior was modernized with fire-resistant cement board and metal siding, replacing the original shingles. A new patio with carefully detailed fountains now extends from the lower-floor living room of the ADU, adding a tranquil outdoor retreat.
