The Great Room
Floor-to-ceiling glass opens the living space onto the garden, and the light stays soft through the afternoon behind sheer curtains. The kitchen, the dining table and the reading corners all sit in the same long room. Twelve people for dinner never feels like a squeeze.
The Terrace
An outdoor kitchen and a table set for eight turn the deck into the second living room of the house. Something on the grill, glasses poured, candles lit as the light starts to change. Nobody leaves early.
The Primary Suite
A wall of glass opens onto rooftops and treetops, with a thin band of the Bay along the horizon. The room is deliberately spare, so nothing competes with what is outside the window. Layered textiles and warm wood keep it from feeling austere.

Choose your finishes
Every principal room has been drawn twice. Same architecture; different wood, stone and metal. Slide between them to compare, then make the final selections with the design team.
Pale wood, cream cabinetry, softly veined stone and glass globes. Or go deeper: fluted dark wood, dramatic veining, brass pendants.

Built Upside Down
The house is built upside down, on purpose. Living, dining and the kitchen take the top floor and open straight onto the roof deck. The bedrooms sit on the quieter floors below, and a private elevator connects all three levels.

Three levels, an elevator between them, and the living floor on top. Tap a numbered point to see that room as it will be built.

The Homesite
A rare piece of ground
This is the last remaining homesite in Greenwood Common. After this one, there is nothing left in the enclave to build on — only the finished houses around it.

Greenwood Common
The last remaining homesite in Greenwood Common — Berkeley's landmark mid-century enclave, minutes from everything.
Why Berkeley
Where Berkeley begins
The Rose Garden is a short walk from the front door. Chez Panisse takes a reservation and no car. Campus is close enough to reach on foot, so its libraries and hill trails end up part of an ordinary week.
It's one of the Bay Area's most coveted neighborhoods, home to UC Berkeley faculty and tech executives drawn by exceptional schools and easy proximity to San Francisco and Silicon Valley alike.

A Landmark Address
The pedigree of the ground
Greenwood Common was planned, not developed. Conceived in the 1950s by William Wurster, dean of what became UC Berkeley's College of Environmental Design, the enclave was laid out around a shared central green designed by the landscape master Lawrence Halprin, and built out between 1952 and 1958 with houses by architects like Joseph Esherick and Harwell Harris.
Berkeley designated the Common a city landmark in 1990. Architecture students still come to photograph these houses. This is the last lot among them.

The Architect
A new generation, adding to the legacy
Seventy years after William Wurster laid out Greenwood Common, its last homesite belongs to a new generation. 1455 Le Roy is the work of Artifact Collaborative — a partnership between architects Bridgett Shank and Megan Carter, both holding Master of Architecture degrees from the California College of the Arts, and each leading an award-winning practice of her own.
Reclaimed wood, natural cooling, rooms that open straight to the outdoors. They were building this way before it was fashionable, which is roughly what Greenwood Common was founded on.
