Expanded Farmhouse

This modern farmhouse in Los Altos was designed with an expanded footprint that includes a full underground basement. The exterior pairs a metal roof with Hardie siding. Inside, the plan is open, with high vaulted ceilings creating volume in the main living areas. The kitchen uses custom-made cabinetry as its anchor. Hardwood floors run throughout, and craftsman detailing carries the farmhouse language into the interior. The combination of basement level and open main floor gives the house significant usable area without expanding its visible massing, keeping the street presence consistent with the surrounding neighborhood.
