Design Inspiration (and plugging my architect)

Love, love, love Elevation Architects! About this time last year my husband drove by a house not far from Los Altos High School when dropping off the kids at soccer practice. He told me about it afterward and said that I really needed to check it out. This is the house above that caught his eye and inspired our design.

I stopped in front of the house the next time I was driving by (which was about 3x per week based on the boys' soccer schedule) and asked the lovely lady who answered the door who designed her gorgeous home. She told me that she worked with a fellow named Jonathan Pearlman with Elevation Architects in San Francisco. Jonathan, it turns out, had designed a home in Los Altos where he was living part of the time. That house is literally less than a block from the property we are building on. I had a feeling that I was meant to work with Jonathan from that moment forward.
