ALAMO AVENUE

This project began with an empty lot on a steep hillside in Berkeley, CA, covered with protected California Coast Live Oaks—a unique challenge, but one we were ready to overcome. The homeowners envisioned a home that honored the Northern California landscape, with a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces and the use of varied natural materials. By incorporating sustainable practices such as radiant heated floors, SIP panel construction, rainwater collection, and renewable materials like bamboo flooring and fly ash concrete, we crafted a warm, modern home with clean lines that perfectly reflected the homeowners’ lifestyle and aesthetic.
