Mountain View Residence

Mountain View, CA

Project Stats

Defined by clean lines and a sophisticated silhouette, this Mountain View residence is a stunning example of modern residential design. This two-story custom home blends contemporary aesthetics with high-performance structural engineering to create a space that feels both light and incredibly grounded.

Our team provided the structural backbone for the home’s open-concept vision. By utilizing a precision-engineered wood framing system and coordinating closely with the architectural plans, we achieved the expansive, airy interiors and unique rooflines that define the home’s modern character. To maintain the minimalist aesthetic without sacrificing strength, we integrated high-performance shear walls and moment frames directly into the home’s envelope. This ensures the structure remains resilient against the elements while keeping the focus entirely on the architecture.

The project’s ingenuity extends beneath the surface. A specialized dual foundation system supports a partial underground basement alongside the home’s at-grade living wings. By meticulously detailing the transition between these subterranean and surface-level structures, we ensured a seamless finish that protects the home’s sleek design for decades to come. The result is a residence that is as technically sound as it is visually breathtaking!
