Today we feature a home that began its life as a fairly typical period revival bungalow but sometime in the 50s a second floor was added with a decidedly modernist flavor. It was designed by one of our favorite local architects from the period, Paul Hamilton. Hamilton was only in the Bay Area for a short time but the residential work he did here was influential. Most of the homes he designed are in Orinda where he lived but he had a number of commissions in the wider East Bay as well. This one is a nice example demonstrating his ability to find creative solutions to complex design problems.
