This imposing Third Bay Region mid-century is a particularly compelling work by local design-builder Les Dey. Dey currently lives in Vallejo, but for many years his practice was focused here in the East Bay. His design for this downslope lot in Oakland arranges a number of rooms on different levels cascading around a large central volume that is the living room. It is an unusually successful solution for a fairly typical hillside site.
- 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.
