The Schlau Residence is located within the Historic District of Orange, California and consists of the remodeling of an existing one-story, mid-century modern residence with the addition of a Master Bedroom Suite, an expanded Living Room Pavilion and a free-standing Office/Studio accessory building.  The focus of the design is to provide a young, growing family with their dream home while blending the existing language of the home with the new additions seamlessly into a cohesive whole architectural composition.

The entire design is conceived as the addition of the new elements of the projects within the existing language of the existing mid-century modern home to blend in seamlessly while still giving the new elements their own unique individual voice within the overall composition of the home.  A Living Room Pavilion extends the existing living room toward the west/rear of the property.  The Master Bedroom Suite wing on the north side of the home also extends to the west/rear of the property while the free-standing Office/Studio extends on the south side of the home creating a Central Courtyard space.  This private exterior space will have a wading pool and a raised deck facing the remainder of the rear yard of the home.
