Portola Valley House
Portola Valley, California
Portola Valley House deals in contrasts: it’s a home for two with the flexibility to become a house for many. The design brief was to create an intimate space and a single-story home to age in place, with enough space for the couple’s children and grandchildren to visit, and to be able to entertain large groups.
Created with luxury hospitality in mind, the award-winning, 10,000-square-foot home is designed to capitalize on views of the rolling hills overlooking the valley in several directions, creating an idyllic escape. The design team also created a mini compound of separate buildings, connected by lush landscaping, making for spaces that capitalize on different times of the day.
