DIABLO, CA
This extensively restored residence, originally built in 1924, achieved an Historic Preservation Award after completion. Before redesign, the house was completely shaded by redwood trees. AFLA worked to retain the historic forest-character of the site, while carefully fitting a new pool below a heritage Oak, establishing sunny lawn-covered spaces throughout, while evoking an 'Old World'. An apple tree alley connects the house to the pool.
