Berkeley, California Two distinct volumes--one opaque and massive, one transparent and light-- represent two fundamental elements of domestic space: utility on the one hand and the intricacy of everyday life on the other. The cement board cladding and simplified form of the northern volume express its functional interior--bathrooms, utilities, stairs, and kitchen are all housed within. In contrast, the complex detailing, fine cedar siding, and glass planes of the southern volume speak of the unpredictable experiences unfolding in its bedrooms, dining, and living rooms. A slim, transparent section dedicated to circulation and access binds together the two parts of the house. More images Architects and Engineers: EndresWare
