Heavy trucks and forklifts rumble along in front of this commercial infill site in west Berkeley. The building we envisioned would provide new offices for our firm and be a prominent visual presence at the transition from Emeryville to Berkeley. Sited at a bend in a heavily traveled industrial access road, this brightly colored building in an otherwise monochromatic landscape greets hundreds of vehicles daily. The neighborhood fabric is the intersection of older industrial structures with the rampant development of adjacent Emeryville. An early goal was to embrace the industrial neighborhood and allow the context to influence the design.

The clients for this Berkeley Hills home were a prominent scientist and his wife. They had recently moved from the east coast and purchased another home I had designed. After a few years in the home, they contacted me to explore their inspiration of building their own home start to finish. We looked for land together and eventually they purchased a double lot with spectacular views in the sloping hills of the East Bay.
