Article Abstract:
The Collins residence in Oakland, CA, is situated in the same site occupied by a house that got burned. However, the new house features an improved spatial flow, and redwood has been replaced with lighter-toned cedar. The interior daylight was increased by enlarging the clerestory windows. The private rooms are located on the lower level while the public ones are in the upper level.
