Slot House
Discipline : Urban Design, Landscape Architecture & Landscaping

Sited in the midst of an oak woodland in the Los Altos Hills, the striking modernism of Slot House called for a decisive but restrained approach to its landscape plan, with colors and textures that stand up to the home’s bold forms yet soften its angularity. A minimal palette of warm tones on the house and paving, pops of red in plants and an architectural fountain, and a living roof with succulent garden add interest and invite exploration while deftly integrating the home into its hillside site.
Hardscape, plantings and a three-tiered fountain direct arrivals from the auto court through the home as it descends on its sloping grade, then outside again to an expansive view into the Foothills Open Space Preserve. Porcelain tile terraces and patios, a fire feature and infinity-edge hot tub extend the living spaces and offer varied experiences for large gatherings as well as intimate moments. Gravel paths leading to a secluded seating area and bench overlook offer a sense of discovery and maximize exploration of this special site.
