Klopper ResidenceCustom Home
The client’s program was for a modern, new 3,500 s.f. retirement
home in San Jose that looked like a Spanish cottage with the feel of an
old world village. The house needed to have gracious and open
day-to-day living areas, and to maximize winter sun exposure. Being
adjacent to Almaden Quicksilver County Park open space, the living areas
were oriented both to the views and to the park. Window placement was
strategically calculated with sun chart diagrams to optimize the winter
sun. The house has an elevator and wheelchair accessible bathroom for
the owner’s future use if needed.
