Archi­tects Szu-​Ping Patri­cia Chen Suchart and Thamarit Suchart cre­ated this res­i­dence, with images by Bill Tim­mer­man.

The main level’s CMU walls define the major pub­lic spaces of the project, which include an out­door court­yard, liv­ing room, din­ing room, kitchen, and koi gar­den. The pub­lic spaces are also flanked by the garage and guest bed­rooms, in turn pro­vid­ing addi­tional pri­vacy from the street and the neigh­bors. The out­door spaces main­tain an open rela­tion­ship to the res­i­dence by means of two 30’ wide expanses of oper­a­ble slid­ing glass doors. The mas­ter suite resides in the Viren­deel truss above. The inte­gra­tion of the court­yard and koi gar­den as an essen­tial part to the daily expe­ri­ence enables the project to fully embrace the out­door spaces of the front and back yards.
