This Los Altos Hills residence underwent a comprehensive renovation that rethought the  living areas. The living, dining, and kitchen was opened up to each other, the ceiling vaulted, windows reconfigured—transforming a traditional home into a bright great room that connects seamlessly to the expansive pool deck.

Unused attic space was removed to create a tall, vaulted great room that brings new spaciousness to the living and dining areas. A concrete fireplace anchors the space, flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows facing the front yard, enhancing both light and vertical presence.

Opening fully to the pool deck, the dining area aligns with the kitchen to form a connected cooking and gathering zone. The kitchen centers on a large island and backyard views, with walnut cabinetry and marble surfaces bringing polish and warmth.

Large sliding doors from the great room connect directly to the pool deck, creating an effortless indoor–outdoor lifestyle for a young, active family. The result is a vibrant setting for daily life and social gatherings.

A narrow staircase was transformed into an open, skylit hall with a floating stair, dramatically improving the transition to the second floor. All rooms received updated finishes, and the primary suite gained a vaulted ceiling that increases both light and volume.

New skylights, updated finishes, refined fixtures, and thoughtfully selected hardware bring a fresh, contemporary feel. Combined with new wood flooring and other simple replacements, these improvements work together to make the home feel cohesive, updated, and entirely renewed.

Exterior facades were redesigned to complement the vaulted great room. At the front, a new roof overhang and oversized pivot door define the entry, while warm wood siding and stacked stone articulate the renovated areas. The updated composition strengthens the home’s overall architectural presence.

The house and ADU frame a series of outdoor spaces that support entertaining and family activity. The covered seating area, updated outdoor kitchen with waterfall countertops, pool deck, and recreational courts—tennis, soccer, basketball, and more—create a dynamic environment for all ages.

A new detached ADU echoes the materials and detailing of the main house. Glass doors from the living area and bedroom open to a shared deck overlooking a native garden. The ADU includes a full kitchen with an eating island, a bedroom suite, laundry, and a private entrance to the street—ideal for guests or a home office.
