Conceived of as a C-shaped house with a small private courtyard and a large private rear yard, this new house maximizes the floor area available to build on this smaller Palo Alto lot. An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) integrated into the main structure gave a floor area bonus. For now, it will be used for visiting relatives. One challenge of this design was keeping a low profile and proportional design while still meeting the FEMA flood plain requirement that the finished floor start about 3′ above grade. The new house has four bedrooms (including the attached ADU), a separate family room with a window seat, a music room, a prayer room, and a large living space that opens to the private small courtyard as well as a large covered patio at the rear. Mature trees around the perimeter of the lot were preserved, and new ones planted, for private indoor-outdoor living.

French-styled powder room with distressed Alderwood vanity. New chest of drawers distressed to look antique with antiqued pewter drawer pulls in the French style. Black granite top milled with double ogee edge and single ogee edge on the curved backsplash. The detailed opening for the sink also has a single ogee edge. Not shown is a black toilet with a stained mahogany top. The steel sconces were made by a blacksmith and then distressed and finished to appear to be pewter. Walls are a waxed faux finish in a Venetian plaster style.
