Other projects on the Stanford University campus include Klopf Architecture's full renovation of a split-level house dating to 1962. In the courtyard, a custom, UV-rated canopy provides shade on hot days. The project has a number of sustainability features, including passive cooling, cross ventilation and natural light. "The landscape counters the traditional front yard with a playful, imaginary world composed of low-water plantings and permeable areas of gravel," the team said. Out front, the landscaping is meant to help distinguish the home from its suburban context. Landscape architects Surfacedesign planted trees, hedges, cacti and grasses to help create privacy and complement the surrounding redwood trees. "We blurred the boundary between wall and roof, composing sloping planes clad in a wooden rain-screen and punctuated by a large, flush-glass clerestory." "Our instinct was to look at the historic context of the vernacular gable roof in North America through a contemporary lens," the architects said. The addition was initially designed as a steel-and-glass box with a flat roof, but the local planner required wood siding and a gabled roof.

The tall addition has a rectangular plan, sculptural form and cedar cladding. Just behind the main home is the 925-square-foot (86-square-metre) studio building, which is meant to be "a raw and tough space that is ready for anything". The studio was designed as a "raw and tough space" "Minimal details and neutral finishes anticipate an evolving composition of Kelley's art and design collection, including custom pieces by Ettore Sottsass," the team said. The interior design allows for the display of art and other objects. Interior finishes include wall slats made of Douglas fir and flooring made of wooden piers from San Francisco's old Transbay Terminal. A workshop and garage are located in a volume on the east. Within the home, the team simplified and opened up the layout.Ĭommunal areas – a kitchen, dining area and living room – are found in the centre and rear of the house, while bedrooms are found in the front and west side. Communal areas are in the centre of the house "The courtyard, once closed off from the house, is now the place where Kelley receives visitors, hosts meetings or reads in solitude," the team said. Sliding glass doors along the courtyard provide an indoor-outdoor connection. Jensen Architects simplified and opened up the layout of the primary structureĪ pivoting front door leads into a breezeway and toward the courtyard. "From the street, the house is curiously simple at first glance – a stealth ranch-style home painted shadow grey," the team said.
