Studio Terpeluk's renovation of the Redwood House honors its legacy while introducing modern living features. Originally designed by influential architect Albert Lanier in 1974, the house was known for its geometric redwood aesthetic. Instead of a radical makeover, the studio focused on enhancing the home's architectural character. They reconfigured the layout, opening up spaces to foster light and flow, while preserving intimacy. The use of reclaimed materials, particularly Douglas fir, adds texture and sustainability, complementing the original redwood. The result is a modern, cohesive residence that retains its design significance.
The renovation managed to balance legacy and modernity, ensuring the Redwood House retains its historical significance while adapting to contemporary living needs.
Studio Terpeluk's renovation philosophy prioritized subtle interventions that reveal the home's best qualities, celebrating its original design while enhancing livability.
By opening up compartmentalized spaces and creating visual connections, the renovation enhances the feeling of space and intimacy within the home.
The material palette integrates original redwood with reclaimed Douglas fir from pier pilings, showcasing a thoughtful interplay between old and new.
