With its crisp, structural geometry that appears to grow out of the very top of the Berkeley Hills, the new Kapoor Residence enjoys panoramic views from Mount Diablo to the Golden Gate Bridge. A motor court doubles as a courtyard for entertaining, and leads to a series of ascending stairs and bridge which spans over a reflecting pool to the entrance of the 3 level house. The family and living rooms at the south side have been designed as a dramatic two-story, glass-enclosed “lantern” commanding some of best vistas of the San Francisco Bay.
