Waverley Residences

Four-unit custom residential

Location: Palo Alto, CA

Area: 11,044

Completed: 2025

This unique project brings four single level homes, each with private yards and terraces, to a modest infill site in the Downtown North neighborhood of Palo Alto.  Surrounded by mature trees and nearby parks, the traditional brick exteriors and detailing are complemented with contemporary fenestration, metal trims, and standing seam metal roofing. The (3) three bed / 3 1/2 bath flats feature open plan kitchens and living rooms with expansive window walls that open onto large private terraces.  Each bedroom has an ensuite bath and the two upper flats have vaulted ceilings and private roof decks.  A free standing one bedroom / 1 bath ADU with a small yard is at the rear of the site.  Parking for all four units is provided on the ground floor of the front building.
