An angular contemporary home featuring a double A-frame construction is on the market in Portola Valley, California. Originally built in 1957, it was completely remodeled and updated in 2014 by Carl Hesse of Three Design Studios, who designed a new structure to connect the two existing A-frames.

The result is a sprawling residence measuring characterized by the use of local materials, soaring ceilings, airy spaces, and generous indoor-outdoor living opportunities. In addition to the vaulted living room that boasts a massive fireplace and sliding glass doors that open onto a creekside deck, there are a mezzanine study, new designer kitchen, family room with accordion glass doors, and a built-in library with custom library ladder—to name just a few.
