For the little brick house, StudioMK27 received an unusual request: the clients wanted a house with opaque corners, without glass panels meeting at those corners.

Located in Oakland, California, on a down-sloping site high above the San Francisco bay, this home is designed to capture the magnificent vistas spanning from the Bay Bright to the Golden Gate Bridge.

The upward plane of the fold presents a landscape described and observed moving sectionally through the house.
