This hillside Alamo home was updated and expanded to take advantage of views of surrounding hills and Mt. Diablo. Views of fast food restaurants are now gone as existing curved skylights over the entry and living area were removed (see B/W photo). A mix of cedar siding, stucco and stone liven up the exterior. Dramatic volumes created on the interior through the addition of large shed roofed elements break up the simple lines of the former exterior. At the rear, a curved roof element added at the family living area opens up sweeping views of the pool and backyard area.
