ALAMO AVENUE

This initial project site–an empty lot set on a steep hillside covered with protected California Coast Live Oaks in Berkeley, CA– presented a unique challenge but not one we couldn’t overcome. The homeowners wanted a home that paid homage to the Northern California setting, with an easy connection between the indoors and out and varied natural materials. Using sustainable practices, like radiant heated floors, SIP panel construction, rainwater collection and renewable materials (Bamboo flooring, Fly ash concrete), we designed a warm, modern home with clean lines that embraced the homeowner’s lifestyle and aesthetic.
