Anderegg Residence
8905 Hickory Street
The couple wanted a home with an office area that could be converted into a three-bedroom house. They wanted an efficient house with ample spaces and no functional duplications - open, free-flowing, bright and light - accessible to the southern sun and view and shaded by the trees - easy to maintain and easy to use. A delight.
The home sits on a lot with mature trees and a water table at seven feet below grade, so they could not utilize a basement. There is acknowledgement in the gable roof form and the cedar shingles and trim of the post World War II neighborhood that it is located in. The entry-court is buffered from the street and north exposure by a cedar-clad low wall, which is also a transition to the home and the office.
Light is brought in from all four directions into the 36' x 16' main space, the heart of the home. It is the central experience - a seamless space from which everything flows.
