Washington Residence

The Washington Residence exemplifies modern architectural elegance, seamlessly integrating innovative design with thoughtful functionality. Situated on a generous 12,700 square foot lot in Fremont, California, this single-family home maximises its site through creative solutions that prioritise natural light and outdoor connection. The design features a central south-facing courtyard that serves as the heart of the residence, fostering a serene atmosphere and encouraging a harmonious indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The three-tiered layout adapts effortlessly to zoning constraints and site slope, creating distinct zones for private, social, and utility spaces while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic.  Within, the interior spaces embody understated sophistication, balancing restraint with rich textures and subtle details. The open-plan Great Room anchors the home, with a carefully crafted kitchen island that invites gathering and daily rituals. Private retreats, such as the primary suite with its own deck and views of the outdoors, underscore a focus on tranquillity and connection with nature. Mahya Salehi Studio’s meticulous attention to detail and artistic sensibility have resulted in a residence that is timeless yet contemporary, embodying a refined simplicity that elevates modern living into a true sanctuary.
