Carlsen Street – New Home

Show Description

Oakland, CA

Taking full advantage of sweeping bay views, this dynamic, reverse-plan, split-level home includes a built-in accessory dwelling unit.  An elegant open stair connects the floors of the house from a spacious entry foyer.

The slope of the lot is gradual enough to allow tuck-under parking, thus facilitating a more inviting frontage than is often found in similar hillside homes.  A sweeping butterfly roof, rich palette of modern materials, terraced balconies and sliding window walls create a seamless indoor outdoor living environment.
