This single family home in Berkeley will receive a second floor addition, perfect for the family of four. The existing first floor and all three bedrooms will be raised to make room for a new first floor, with higher ceilings, and complete with a new kitchen, dining room, living room, a fourth bedroom or office space. The plan's cohesive interior opens up to a backyard deck and lush landscaping. Steel troweled stucco and lap siding are the main exterior finishes, while corroded steel and high performance wood are used for a warmer palette, and to reflect this couple's eclectic inspiration.
