This project involved a 600 sq ft addition to an existing home in the Berkeley Hills, focused on creating a spacious new great room that opens seamlessly onto the level rear yard. The design thoughtfully integrates indoor and outdoor living, highlighting the stunning heritage oak tree as a central natural feature. Large windows and sliding doors maximize light and views, while clean, modern finishes complement the home’s existing character. This addition enhances both the functionality and connection to nature, perfect for relaxed family living and entertaining.
