Emmaneel ResidenceCustom Home
The original two bedroom, one bath 1950 postwar tract house of 950
s.f. over looks the San Francisco bay and is the home of a friend and a
general contractor. A principal program driver was for privacy from
the street and more garage space. This major remodel transformed the
house into a 2,615 s.f. three bedroom, three bath house. Two garages
were added which left the original garage available for other future
uses. Nine foot high ceilings on the lower floor and an open stairwell
with skylights bring natural light into the center of the house.
Stepping the second story back and blending the new hip roof with the
existing was critical in integrating the addition into a flowing,
unified design.
