Swatt Miers Architects Serves Up California Cool with a Warm Modern Twist
Swatt Miers Architects
Owyang House: The entry sequence to this new, two-story residence is a study in expansion and compression: The pathway, flanked by a long, linear infinity-edge water feature, opens to the sky, while a long, low steel canopy compresses the exterior entrance space and focuses attention on the dramatically hued entry door.

Happy Valley Residence: A key design strategy involved re-using the footprint of a pre-existing home as the basis for the new design – in order to preserve the beautiful mature landscaping that surrounds the home on all sides. The result is a new home with a timeless quality, perfectly knitted to its beautiful site.
