THE TURN
This custom residential home located in the Oakland Hills highlights the intricate attention to detail and high level of craftsmanship that a seamless collaboration between designers and builders can produce. The challenging sloped site necessitated an extensive stepped concrete foundation and retaining wall. The foundation provided opportunities to celebrate craft, with exposed board-formed concrete walls on the interior.
The home allows the stepped concrete retaining walls to read throughout the home both on the walls and as terraced separations between spaces. Balconies provide access to outdoor space from multiple rooms and the expansive use of glass allows for views throughout the home to the surrounding trees. Cedar cladding on the facade reflects the warmth of the surrounding redwood and oak trees.
