Stanford Residence

Stanford Residence is a stunning a mid-century marvel transformed by Jensen Architects on Stanford University´s campus. Owned by IDEO co-founder David Kelley, this remodel celebrates utilitarian and abstract design. Within the existing footprint, the design opens up the interiors, seamlessly blending a bedroom into a kitchen and connecting indoor and outdoor living spaces. Minimalist details and neutral finishes anticipate the clients evolving art collection. The once-closed courtyard is now the heart of the home, fostering interaction. A separate workshop structure allows unbounded exploration, wrapped in wood and glass, cleverly adhering to design guidelines. Outside, drought-tolerant plantings create a playful dialogue with the home, merging architecture with nature.
