The OZ Residence was designed by Swatt Miers Architects and is located in Silicon Valley, California. The owners, a young couple with two young children, wanted their home to have a casual, barefoot feel, like a vacation destination. Their 2.8 acre site, with gentle slopes to the south and mature landscaping on all sides was the perfect setting to create a home that would fully engage the beautiful landscape. The home is organised into a ‘L’ shaped plan with 2 wings joined at a two-storey great room. Sheathed in mahogany boards and fully glazed on two sides, this beautiful volume, pierced by a floating glass bridge, both connects and separates the family and sleeping wings on either side. We invite you to have a look at the photos taken of this home and tell us if you consider its design fits the clients’ brief.
