"Situated on a flat lot in a quiet residential neighborhood near the Apple headquarters, the site is close to the Cupertino Eichler district but directly adjacent to homes in the Spanish Colonial and Mission styles mandated by zoning regulations."
"The opportunity was embraced to adapt the shared lineage of these local precedents while adhering to strict style requirements to design a new contemporary dwelling."
Site sits on a flat lot in a quiet residential neighborhood near Apple headquarters, adjacent to the Cupertino Eichler district and to Spanish Colonial and Mission style homes required by zoning. Designers adapted the shared lineage of those local precedents to create a contemporary courtyard dwelling while complying with strict style regulations. The design embraces contextual influences from Eichler modernism and Spanish Colonial/Mission traditions to negotiate zoning constraints. The program responds to local scale and stylistic mandates, using a courtyard typology to bridge historical references and contemporary architecture on a suburban lot.
