R W Long is not an architect that we are otherwise familiar with, but this unusual early mid-century that he designed for himself in Berkeley is certainly worthy of note. It is full of what appear to be exposed wood braced frames, which are virtually unheard of in a home of this vintage. Add to that all of the more familiar Bay Region modernist materials and textures, and the result is intriguing indeed.
- 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.
