Sylvan

A single corner of the original foundation was preserved, but this ground-up remodel in a leafy San Mateo neighborhood is essentially a new home. Rather than building upward as some might, the decision was made to keep the structure single-story to maintain consistency with the surrounding area. The home is embraced by a vibrant edible garden at the front and a tranquil interior courtyard at its center. Starting with a near-blank canvas, we embraced minimalism punctuated by strategic splashes of color that bring warmth to the spaces.
