Portola Valley Residence | Malcolm Davis Architecture

Designed around an existing oak tree, this home pulls elements from its woodland surroundings allowing it to seamlessly blend into the existing landscape. The exterior is finished with burnt cedar siding and stucco to create an earthy tone, while significant design moves were made to the interior, including the addition of large floor-to-ceiling glass doors and a wrap-around balcony off of the dining room to take full advantage of the landscape and natural light. 

According to the homeowners, “Malcolm's home’s honor light, flow and airiness. His design for our home also reflects simplicity and timelessness.”
