Design Driven & Built with Intention
These striking three-story homes bring together thoughtful architecture, natural materials, and indoor-outdoor living in the heart of West Berkeley, just moments from the shops, restaurants, and cafés of Fourth Street. From Sixth Street, a landscaped pedestrian pathway leads through the property to each private entrance. Thermory Dragon Scale siding, Nichiha Empire Block panels, and natural cedar accents create a distinctive exterior that feels modern without feeling cold. Inside, an inverted floor plan was designed to take advantage of natural light, privacy, and views. Bedrooms are located on the lower levels, while the top floor opens into a light-filled kitchen, dining, and living space designed for everyday living and entertaining. From there, head upstairs to an expansive private roof deck with 360-degree views across the Bay Area—an extension of the living space and one of the defining features of the home. Throughout the interior, clean architectural details and carefully selected materials create a modern but warm environment. Natural stone, premium Marvin windows, birch doors, flush mount vents, trimless detailing, and upgraded Lutron switches are complemented by an all electric heat pump system with individual temperature control throughout the home. The homes were also designed with efficiency and the future in mind. Solar panels, battery ready electrical infrastructure, EV charging, whole-house Panasonic air filtration, and high efficiency on-demand hot water are integrated into the design rather than added as an afterthought. The result is a home that feels considered from every angle—architecture, materials, technology, efficiency, all tailored to the way the spaces actually live.
