Ocean View House

Oakland Hills,   CA

The home features an asymmetric, yet balanced, massing.  The tower contains a spiral stair which culminates at viewing platform with Bay Views.

The entrance drive acts as an entrance plaza by using inlaid flagstone and exposed aggregate concrete, eliminating any of the usual driveway clues.

The dining room features a day-lit built-in niche

with windows concealed above the arch.  The

niche also acts as a buffet.

The weathervane is constructed of 1/8" thick steel sheets,

and stained glass.  Designed by the Architect
