i love it. very impressive... you could NEVER get away with this in my neighborhood of cape coral, fl. here, blandness is kosher (possibly statute, even) and a few cheesy builders have slapped together the same few elevations and floorplans over, and over, and over... it's like a maze in TRON. completely featureless. it's no wonder we are ground zero for the housing crash. anyway, dwight way is superb. everything i wish builders and architects were thinking about where i live.
It's amazing that they got this done with all the Baby Boomer NIMBYs that try to stop everything in Berkeley.
i think this sends a strong message about recyclable, sustainable architecture that actually looks real good as well. kudos.
That railing is amazing!
I love this article, I'm saving the magazine because I always want to do this in part of my fence, facing a community garden. how can I get the website for this kind of signs? in Chicago where I live is not legal buy any street signs, thank you
How did they get all of those signs?
I really love the photography - It's really interesting seeing the intertwining of modern technology with nature. Where were these photos taken?
I'm afraid it reminds me too much of the junk piled up on the streets and in the yards here in Detroit, especially the auto parts. Sure, it would be great to find a use for all the industrial cast-offs we see abandoned and dumped everywhere here. But let's fact it; it isn't terribly aesthetically pleasing to begin with, let alone to feature it on a home.
I drive by this building on Berkeley on my way to work, I love it!
@interwest safety: Never mind the photos - the way they've repurposed all the street signs is just great! @GeneralShareman: I disagree on the junk notion and aesthetically, I think its a very cool twist on recycling materials and deserves to be shown.
