Our featured home today is an exceptionally well-preserved residence designed by local Bay Region modernist John Hans Ostwald. Ostwald’s homes tend to be angular, highly logical, and full of carefully conceived spaces. This example is no exception with its prow-shaped living room and public and private axes that intersect at the spiral entrance stair. It is an excellent demonstration of Ostwald’s clarity of vision and great talent as a residential designer.
- 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.
