Project Budget: $6M | Architectural Style: Classic Roman | Project Size: 11,000 Sq. Ft.
Where architecture, nature, and family life come together, Tepaway Residence becomes more than a home, it becomes a timeless expression of connection.
Tepaway Residence is a 10,061-square-foot luxury home in Los Altos Hills, California, designed by Babak Homayouni.
The residence was designed for a family of five, with an integrated ADU for the homeowners’ parents. The objective was to create a comfortable multigenerational home with generous spaces for family life, private accommodations, and large social gatherings.
The program includes formal and informal living areas, a grand dining room, family spaces, a home office, a library, an elevator, private bedroom suites, multiple terraces, a swimming pool, and a covered outdoor entertainment pavilion with a barbecue area.
The architectural design draws inspiration from Roman and European classical traditions. The main elevation features a symmetrical composition centered on a monumental double-height entrance.
A large arched glass opening brings natural light into the entrance hall and creates a strong focal point. Classical columns, pilasters, arched windows, decorative cornices, and carefully proportioned façade elements give the residence a formal and timeless character.
The exterior combines natural travertine with cast limestone architectural details. Dark roof surfaces provide contrast and help define the building’s classical composition.
Two natural streams and water channels created significant development setbacks on the property. The house, ADU, garage, pool, terraces, and outdoor pavilion were carefully organized within the available buildable area.
The floor plan separates formal entertaining spaces, informal family areas, private rooms, and service functions while maintaining convenient circulation between them.
The ADU includes its own living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, entrance, and stair access. This provides privacy and independence for the parents while keeping them connected to the main household.
Indoor and Outdoor Living
The main living, dining, kitchen, and family areas connect to outdoor decks and terraces. These spaces lead toward the swimming pool and covered entertainment pavilion, creating a continuous environment for indoor and outdoor gatherings.
Large windows, skylights, double-height spaces, and glazed doors bring natural light into the residence and create views toward the landscape and outdoor amenities.
The second floor contains the primary suite, additional bedrooms and bathrooms, a library, family spaces, laundry facilities, storage areas, and private decks.
The primary suite is designed as a private retreat with a spacious bedroom, bathroom, dressing and closet areas, and direct access to an outdoor deck.
Tepaway Residence is designed to become a distinctive luxury estate in Los Altos Hills. The project combines classical architectural character with modern planning, multigenerational living, natural light, privacy, and extensive entertainment amenities.
Now under construction, the completed residence will provide an elegant but comfortable setting for everyday family life and large gatherings.
