TASK: Architecture, New Construction of single family home, and Interior Design
LOT SIZE: 6,035 SF
BUILT AREA: 4,049 SF
STATUS: Building Permit process
Site and Context
On a newly formed SB9 lot in Burlingame, CA, this home embraces sweeping Bay views and the morning light. Commissioned by a grandmother as a legacy gift to her daughter and granddaughter, the design is shaped by curves, soft lines, and a quiet strength inspired by the women it was built for.
Concept and Vision
The design draws inspiration from the strength, softness, and deep familial connection shared between three generations of women. From the earliest sketches, the architecture embraced curves and gentle lines, a quiet, feminine language that speaks of legacy and grace.
Architectural Solutions
Every inch of the compact site is used with care and intention. An ADU at the lower level expands the home’s functionality, while a penthouse and roof deck open the living space to the sky, the Bay views, and the rhythm of indoor-outdoor life.
A restrained material palette lets natural light and the surrounding landscape take center stage. This is architecture that tells a story of family, memory, and connection to place.
