Kanner Architects have designed a beautiful house in in Oakland, California, on a down-sloping site high above the San Francisco Bay. The home was designed to capture the magnificent vistas spanning from the Bay Bridge to the Golden Gate Bridge
The clients are a couple with grown children, desired to create a dream home for their life as empty nesters, but still wanted accommodations for their kids and other frequent guests.
The four-bedroom home was planned as two distinct volumes connected by a glass bridge.The primary volume is all about the owners who sought luxury and transparency. The master suite is a spacious open area with a wall of glass connecting the residents with their setting and capturing the breathtaking bay. The tub and shower are open to the bedroom and separated from the outside only by glass. Photography by Tim Griffith
