Residence in San Mateo is a project designed by Feldman Architecture. After purchasing a modest ranch house on a secluded corner lot in suburban San Mateo, the clients took note of what they loved about the existing home—it was unassuming, private, and nestled into a property lush with trees and native landscaping. The couple (she’s Head of Sustainable Design for Google Hardware), was well versed in the design process and wanted to collaborate with an architectural and interiors studio on a renovation that preserved as much as possible of the existing home while seamlessly connecting updated indoor spaces to inviting, protected outdoor living and dining areas. As a response, the design combines crisp geometries with a natural material palette, framing dramatic views of majestic oaks and thoughtful landscaping. Photography by Adam Rouse.
