  • 24th STREET Mixed Use
    Oakland, CA
    2005

    This project called for a complete renovation of a Victorian duplex and the creation of an additional ground floor. To achieve this, the building was lifted and substantial excavation was also needed to achieve the required height at street level. The exterior and interior of the new unit have a contemporary massing of concrete, glass and metal which anchor the more delicate details of the Victorian style above. The upper exterior was restored to its original quality and detailing while the interiors were modernized.

    An exterior landscape installation intended for assembly, performance and play is transformed from a hillside on a school's campus into a hub of activity. The result is a series of concrete plinths that opens itself to many versions of "play." The project was completed in collaboration with MIG Inc. of Berkeley, CA.

  • BACCELLI RESIDENCE Single Family Home
    Oakland, CA
    2009

    A need for additional space that could be accessed and utilized separate from the main house was the driving idea behind this project. The space of an existing carport was transformed into a separate living space and additional site work also allowed for a usable flat yard area for the family.

  • MINI BAR Bar
    San Francisco, CA
    2008

    Located in the Western Addition neighborhood of San Francisco, the program for the space called for both a bar and gallery showcasing local artists and great cocktails. As the name suggests, spatial constraints were a factor in every decision. In order to accommodate the needs of both functions there was a focus on simplicity and a reduction of scale.
