The peninsula south of San Francisco is dotted with suburban towns and villages in the hills and valleys along the west side of the bay. Nestled amidst the hilly neighborhoods is a rare 2-acre site. Seeking a sun-filled property that afforded privacy and the opportunity to spread out, the clients jumped at the chance to secure the property. The abundance of flat land meant that the site would be able to accommodate a house and support structures with plenty of space leftover for the development of both active and passive landscapes. ?The program for the house was quite complicated,? notes Richard Beard, lead architect for the project and founder of Richard Beard Architects. ?It required clever compositional moves to accommodate everything the clients wanted.
