Description
With this house in Woodside, Cliff May showcases the custom style he is known for. With a central enclosed courtyard, patios extending the living spaces, and the single-story, asymmetrical house on a large lot with pool, this rendering fits the custom style. Woodside, a small wealthy suburb of San Francisco, was the site of a few commissions for houses in the late 1950s and early 1960s, as the cost of land rose and the market for large, custom homes also increased.
