GREEN OAK RESIDENCE

THE GREEN OAK RESIDENCE IS A COMPLETE REINVENTION OF AN EXISTING HOME, WHERE ARCHITECTURE, LANDSCAPE, AND OUTDOOR LIVING WERE CONCEIVED AS A SINGLE, UNIFIED VISION. THE PROJECT INCLUDED A COMPLETE REORGANIZATION OF THE FLOOR PLAN, NEW ARCHITECTURAL ELEVATIONS, THE DESIGN OF THE POOL, DECKS, GARDEN WALLS, AND HARDSCAPE, TRANSFORMING A DATED RESIDENCE INTO A WARM, CONTEMPORARY HOME WITH A MODERN MID-CENTURY CHARACTER INSPIRED BY THE SIMPLICITY AND HONESTY OF MOUNTAIN CABINS.

​

DESIGNED FOR CLIENTS WHO LOVE TO ENTERTAIN, THE HOUSE SEAMLESSLY CONNECTS INDOOR AND OUTDOOR LIVING THROUGH A SERIES OF GENEROUS GATHERING SPACES AND LANDSCAPED TERRACES. A NEW ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT (ADU) WAS CAREFULLY INTEGRATED ABOVE THE EXISTING GARAGE, WHILE THE GARAGE ITSELF WAS REPURPOSED AS A RECREATION ROOM SHARED BY BOTH THE MAIN RESIDENCE AND THE ADU. THE USE OF BOARD-FORMED CONCRETE AND NATURAL WOOD SIDING CREATES A RICH CONTRAST OF MATERIALS, GIVING THE HOME A TIMELESS ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION THAT IS BOTH SOPHISTICATED AND WELCOMING.

​

THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN—INCLUDING THE FLOOR PLAN, EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS, LANDSCAPE, HARDSCAPE, POOL, OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES, AND THE INTEGRATION OF THE NEW ADU—WAS DESIGNED BY JUAN FELIPE GOLDSTEIN. INTERIOR FINISHES, FURNISHINGS, AND COLOR SELECTIONS WERE DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION WITH INTERIOR DESIGNER AMY NEUNSINGER, COMPLEMENTING THE ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT AND REINFORCING THE HOME'S WARM, CONTEMPORARY CHARACTER.
