WOODSIDE RESIDENCE
Concept Design, Planning Approvals, Design Review
A young family asked DOES Architecture to design a house for them on the grounds of their father’s hilltop estate. Woodside Planning regulations dictated that the program be divided up into three separate structures: a workshop to the south, private family quarters to the west, and a secluded office wing to the north. Working with, around, and through the project constraints, we arrived at a solution that maximizes views, frames a generous open space, and provides necessary privacy. The forms are dynamic and iconic: each “house” shape terminates in glass window-walls defined by shade screens that provide privacy and solar protection. The house employs both passive and active energy- and resource-saving technologies, including a corrugated cor-ten "rain-screen" wall system, hydronic radiant heating in a concrete thermal-mass slab floor, natural ventilation, high-efficacy LED lighting, and high-performance spray-foam insulation. The project is expected to meet or exceed CAL-Green Tier 1 Standards for Green Building.
