Perched on the hillside of Berkeley overlooking the San Francisco Bay, the Alvarado Road House was commissioned by a self-made patriarch to house his family of five and to host and entertain his large extend-ed family. Borrowing from the traditional California hillside house, the architecture uses platforms to navigate the steep hillside. These platforms create stages for entertainment venues during social events. In this modern interpretation of a venerable archetype, native building materials such as stucco, stone, and terra cotta evoke tradi-tional building methods used by early settlers. Inside the house, the client and the architect worked together to create a rich palette of materials that reinforces the client’s achievements and cultural identity.
