Seven Gables

Balzer & Tuck Architecture

An open floor plan between the Kitchen, Dining, and Living areas is thoughtfully divided by sliding barn doors, providing both visual and acoustic separation. The rear screened porch and grilling area located off the Kitchen become the focal point for outdoor entertaining and relaxing. Custom cabinetry and millwork throughout are a testament to the talents of the builder, with the project proving how design-build relationships between builder and architect can thrive given similar design mindsets and passions for the craft of homebuilding.

Los Altos New Residence

Klopf Architecture

Klopf Architecture and Outer space Landscape Architects designed a new warm, modern, open, indoor-outdoor home in Los Altos, California. Inspired by mid-century modern homes but looking for something completely new and custom, the owners, a couple with two children, bought an older ranch style home with the intention of replacing it. Created on a grid, the house is designed to be at rest with differentiated spaces for activities; living, playing, cooking, dining and a piano space. The low-sloping gable roof over the great room brings a grand feeling to the space. The clerestory windows at the high sloping roof make the grand space light and airy. Upon entering the house, an open atrium entry in the middle of the house provides light and nature to the great room. The Heath tile wall at the back of the atrium blocks direct view of the rear yard from the entry door for privacy. The bedrooms, bathrooms, play room and the sitting room are under flat wing-like roofs that balance on either side of the low sloping gable roof of the main space. Large sliding glass panels and pocketing glass doors foster openness to the front and back yards. In the front there is a fenced-in play space connected to the play room, creating an indoor-outdoor play space that could change in use over the years. The play room can also be closed off from the great room with a large pocketing door. In the rear, everything opens up to a deck overlooking a pool where the family can come together outdoors. Wood siding travels from exterior to interior, accentuating the indoor-outdoor nature of the house. Where the exterior siding doesn’t come inside, a palette of white oak floors, white walls, walnut cabinetry, and dark window frames ties all the spaces together to create a uniform feeling and flow throughout the house. The custom cabinetry matches the minimal joinery of the rest of the house, a trim-less, minimal appearance. Wood siding was mitered in the corners, including where siding meets the interior drywall. Wall materials were held up off the floor with a minimal reveal. This tight detailing gives a sense of cleanliness to the house. The garage door of the house is completely flush and of the same material as the garage wall, de-emphasizing the garage door and making the street presentation of the house kinder to the neighborhood. The house is akin to a custom, modern-day Eichler home in many ways. Inspired by mid-century modern homes with today’s materials, approaches, standards, and technologies. The goals were to create an indoor-outdoor home that was energy-efficient, light and flexible for young children to grow. This 3,000 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom new house is located in Los Altos in the heart of the Silicon Valley.

Entryway Bench Designs & Ideas

The foyer is the first and last room your guests will see, so think of this space as a first chance to showcase the style of your house. Whether you have a grand entrance or functional passage it is the transition from the public to the private world. So don’t underestimate the foyer’s value, browse through foyer design images to help you explore entrances, foyer designs, and ideas that incorporate functionality and appearance.

How do I make my front entry stand out?

A front door can make or break the home’s entrance appeal. No one wants a front door that stands out for all the wrong reasons, so choose one that is unique, interesting and yet suits the style of your home. Intricately carved wooden doors are great for traditional Indian style homes. While arched door works well for Mediterranean-style homes, and a double door is a great way to make a dramatic entry statement. If your entrance is set back from the facade of your home, try using a lighter or brighter color palette for the door. Add potted plants and a welcome mat to make it stand out. Don’t forget about proper lighting to guide the visitors in the dark. Alternatively, if you want a cost effective foyer design makeover - try painting your door a bright color or adding new hardware for a fresh new look.

What furniture and storage do I need in my entryway?

Foyers have both utilitarian and design roles to play within a living space. The utilitarian aspect includes storage and space to ensure the entrance to your home is clutter free as possible. It is wise to select a few practical items that will help with storage and offer a warm welcome. Coat stands, umbrella holders and shoe racks are practical foyer additions that will keep the area tidy. If you have the space, an armchair or hallway bench will prove useful for perching on when removing shoes and definitely consider multi-functional furniture such as a storage bench for shoes.

How do I decorate my entryway?

For most Indian homes the foyer is a drop zone making entrance decor a challenge. Embrace the space and need by adding decor elements that double up as storage. Use hooks, bowls and bins creatively to ensure the entry to your home is mess free. The foyer decor and elements can be blended seamlessly into the home with details that connect it to adjoining rooms. Think flooring, a well-placed rug, curtains or just wall paint that matches the rest of house. If you have open wall space, add artwork or photographs that make you happy or are conversation-starters. As a final thoughtful touch, place a big mirror next to the front door for last minute appearance checks.
