A single-family residence on an up-slope lot in Oakland-Berkeley Hills, one of the first homes built after devastating fire destroyed over 3000 homes in 1991. Bordering on tracks of public open space with abundant wildlife, generous fenestration allows play of sunlight around geometric interior. The inspired design by architect Randy Finn steps home up hillside creating levels of private and adjoining spaces with views at every stop. A new garden by More Hatsushi features native flowering shrubs and redwood trees to promote restoration of fire-scarred hills.
