Project Type

Status
Completed 2018
Role
Project Architect at Siegel & Strain Architects
Key Features
All-Electric Renovation

This project involved a sensitive modernization and all-electric addition to an historic 1910's Craftsman home in Oakland. The work included adding a master suite upstairs and reconfiguring the kitchen and living areas to better connect with the outdoors. The design carefully maintained the character of the original home and the surrounding neighborhood, giving the house new life without erasing its past.

A key marker of the project's success was its smooth and efficient journey through the city's regulatory process. Due to the integrity of the design and the completeness of the construction documents, the project "streamed through entitlements without any building plan check comments". This is a powerful testament to technical proficiency and design clarity, and it represents a significant value proposition for clients. An efficient and predictable process saves homeowners time, money, and the stress often associated with residential construction.
