Today we feature an intriguing Claremont Hills home designed by Tom Lowe. It is unusual not only because it is a departure from the standard design that Lowe replicated over and over in the Oakland Hills during the 60s and 70s, but also because it was built in 1992. The home occupies a lot cleared by the Oakland Hills fire in 1991, but it appears to have been built from an earlier set of plans – likely those for the home that was there before the fire, making for an interesting mix of old and new.
- Edificionado is an Oakland-based real estate brokerage specializing in architecturally and historically significant homes. The listings we feature here are those that have recently caught our eye due to their provenance or exceptional state of preservation. We select them without regard to size, price, or location and in general we are not the listing broker, so we have no stake in their being posted here. As we are based in Oakland, most of the homes will be in the East Bay, though we may throw one in from elsewhere in the Bay Area from time to time. If you would like to visit any of these homes, or receive a personalized list of properties more tailored to your specific requirements and tastes please contact Christian Olson at colson@edificionado.com or at 510 686 3343.
