A Silicon Valley Family Builds a Courtyard Home Inspired by Iranian and Mexican Traditions
By
Erin Miller
Summary
A Silicon Valley family replaces a worn 1958 tract house with a custom home centered around an open-air courtyard. Designed by Mahya Salehi Studio and built by contractor Sergio, the project transforms a compact 55-by-55-foot site into a bright, culturally inspired living space. The design draws from Iranian courtyard architecture and Mexican hacienda traditions, blending centuries-old architectural concepts with modern family living.
