Double-height stair void of a ground-up new construction home in the Berkeley Hills, CA, as featured on America ByDesign on CBS. The folded ceiling plane - the defining architectural gesture from which the Fold House takes its name — is most clearly expressed in this interior shot. Two birch plywood ceiling planes meet at a diagonal crease above the stair void, one horizontal and one angled, the junction creating a precise dark shadow line that animates the upper volume. Full-height steel-framed glazing at the stair landing frames an unobstructed panoramic view of the Berkeley Hills neighborhood, East Bay flatlands, San Francisco Bay, and Marin headlands beyond.

Complete siding replacement project featuring Double 4.5" Encore Dutch Lap siding in Natural Clay, selected for its classic profile and long-lasting performance. The Dutch lap design adds subtle shadow lines, giving the home a more dimensional and upscale appearance. Our team handled full removal of the existing siding, proper surface preparation, and precision installation to ensure durability and weather resistance. Attention to detail was key throughout the project, especially around trim, corners, and transitions. All existing shutters and exterior moldings were carefully reinstalled, maintaining the home’s original architectural style while enhancing its overall look with the new siding color and finish. The finished result is a clean, modernized exterior with improved curb appeal and long-term protection.

Given the constraints with natural lighting, the design explores artificial lighting as a means to establish atmospheric conditions. Lighting coves are created throughout the gallery alcove and studio and hide LED lighting that wash the walls. Reveals are exploited as an architectural strategy to emphasize form with shadow lines, but also serve as electrical coves and hide the outlets within the gallery and studio.

In one of Naples’ most exclusive waterfront neighborhoods, the owners asked for a solution that would raise the barrier without changing the home’s resort-like curb appeal. We installed the GIZAGIZA HEART crown almost around the entire property, tying into stucco garden walls, gate piers, and frosted-glass driveway gates. The low, matte profile reads like a thin shadow line from the street yet removes grips, footholds, and hook points along the whole boundary—perfect for an estate with visible security and privacy needs.

Stone and a heavy wood horizontal structure with a shadow line were used to anchor the house to the site.
