Helser Addition, Berkeley, California

Second floor bedrooms were added to this 1920's Craftsman bungalow while its kitchen was completely remodeled. By relocating the laundry room upstairs, a real dining area was gained and large windows and a french door invite garden views and access. The stair atrium provides a two-story element at the rear of the residence while functioning as a natural light well for the dining area. It features a large stained glass window, a custom window, as well as recycled archtop windows. Craftsman details, built-ins, wood working, stained glass windows, and Arts and Craft light fixtures all maintain the ambience of this intimate bungalow.
