RADIANT HILLS HOUSE

Modern architecture home overlooking the San Francisco Bay area sunset.

Perched in the Oakland Hills, the home’s radiant interior spaces have been designed to take advantage of the it’s orientation to the surrounding trees and views of the Bay. This mid-century modern renovation opens up the kitchen and common spaces to an expansive cedar deck while new additions provide a primary suite and sunken living room for intimate gathering. 

Adaptive reuse-focused redesign of home originally built in 1949 by a jazz pianist.

Each of these additions pop up above the datum of the existing roof line, capturing natural light through the clerestories and creating anchors at either end of the home. These forms are highlighted further through the use of copper shingle cladding, reclaimed from airplane hangars.

Cedar deck opens up to the expansive views of the San Francisco Bay flooding the glassy architecture of kitchen, dining room, and common spaces with natural light.
