Straight Mountain Los Altos Hills Residence by Aleck Wilson Architects

Los Altos Hills Residence was an extensive renovation to a dated hillside home in Los Altos Hills, California by architecture studio Aleck Wilson Architects. The program was to open up the home to the view, to extend and integrate the decks with indoor-outdoor living and reorganize the flow of the plan. The architects sought to create a soothing palette, with carefully detailed materials. Striking features of the home include the glass central stairway that has an ethereal transparency that illuminates the interior of the three-story home. Custom stained wood slat cladding emphasizes circulation walls and creates a balanced counterpoint to the naturally lit stair. Custom lighting, furnishings and materials were selected by interior design firm The Wiseman Group and integrated with the architecture throughout the home.
