| 66th street infill, oakland |
|
|
we designed, developed and built this 4 home project in north oakland. in close proximity to transit, retail and commercial businesses, this location was ideal for higher density, infill housing. the project replaced a dilapidated single-family home located near the street, and added 3 additional homes in the large rear yard space. the front and rear yard homes are separated by a shared parking court and most of the exterior space is allocated as private yards for each home’s use.
each home is modestly sized at 1,500 square feet and contains 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and light-filled, open living spaces. large doors and windows seamlessly integrate each home's interior to their private yards so that they are extensions of the living spaces. many sustainable features were included in this project, the most significant being its density increase in a transit-oriented neighborhood. others include p.v. solar-electric systems, tankless water heaters, high-efficiency furnaces with electronic air filtration, no/low v.o.c. interior finishes, permeable paving and landscaping, and natural building materials such as integral-color plaster, regionally harvested oak hardwood flooring, and stone floors and counters. |
