The Fifth Room : Products, Ideas, and Designs to Expand Living Spaces Outdoors

By Mary Grauerholz
May 15, 2019

Silicon Valley Home

In a California home, relating to the outdoors is an unlimited experience. When Malika Junaid, founder and principal of M. Designs architectural firm in Silicon Valley, built her new home, she relished integrating it into the site. “To be part of the surroundings, you need to open the house, where the house, it’s boundaries, and the site all merge together,” says Junaid.  An homage to Star Trek, the spectacular steel-and-glass home retains a warm mood and buckets of personality. Movable glass walls offer unhindered views of the natural landscape and a 60-foot swimming pool with a tiles floor- which extends from the great room to the outdoors – in a mosaic pattern of Michelangelo’s “Creation of Adam,” styled and created by Artaic.  

Its materials are sustainable and maintenance free, and the programmed functions of its smart technology control light intensity by room and open curtains on a timer. When it rains, irrigation systems are set in motion. As Junaid says, “Our home is an integral part of our everyday life.”  mdesignsarchitects.com, artaic.com
