Dayton Ave Residence

Located in the vibrant Cascade Park neighbourhood of Santa Clara, the Dayton Ave Residence exemplifies modern architectural innovation within an intimate urban setting. This newly constructed, single-family home seamlessly integrates contemporary design with functional living, offering a harmonious balance between privacy and openness on a compact 9,800 SF lot. The residence comprises a spacious 4,050 SF main house complemented by a thoughtfully designed 750 SF accessory dwelling unit (ADU), providing versatile spaces tailored to a young family’s lifestyle.  The design prioritises innovative spatial solutions to optimise natural light and privacy amidst closely packed neighbouring properties. The home features a striking mono-slope roof that transitions into a dramatic butterfly roof over the second floor, serving as both a visual focal point and a practical element that unites the upper bedrooms. The layout fosters a seamless flow from street-facing, introverted facades to an expansive, double-height family living area that opens onto a lush backyard courtyard—creating a perfect blend of intimacy and openness that reflects contemporary living with timeless elegance.
