Our featured home today is the long time residence of Hal Thiederman and his wife Elivia. Hal was an integral part of Clarence Mayhew’s firm for many years, eventually becoming a partner. He was responsible for a good deal of Mayhew’s later modernist output including some truly inventive Kaiser hospitals. When it came time to remodel his own home his designs were no less creative, adding a large central lantern in the living room and later a rooftop observatory. The home is a lasting testament to the immense talent of a designer who for many years worked behind the scenes and so is not so well known today as some of his contemporaries.
- 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.

Sublime, indeed it looks like a nestled home in the hillside with an ultra comfortable interior and landscape surroundings of manicured care.
