This renovation of a classic Berkeley Craftsman home focused on enhancing the relationship between house and garden through a reimagined entry sequence and complete landscape remodel.

The existing terrain slopes away from the house, and the original entry porch felt disconnected—both visually and functionally—from the home’s character and its surroundings.

The new design introduces a reconfigured entry porch that provides a more natural and comfortable transition into the house, while also reinforcing the Craftsman style in both detailing and proportion. Thoughtfully integrated with the landscape, the porch now serves as a welcoming threshold—offering protection from the elements and a place to sit, connect, and enjoy views of the newly designed garden. The result is a seamless addition that feels original to the home, enhancing both curb appeal and everyday experience.
