One of the more modern design features, a portion of the master suite cantilevers over the patio and pool below.

In the kitchen, Laminex Absolut Matte Black cabinets are topped with counters from Pop Concrete.
“The layout and openings allow ample flow to the exterior, and paths and decks have been developed to ‘flatten’ the sloping site enough to create generous outdoor gathering areas,” Herrin says. “These areas take into account sunlight at different times of day as well as protection from prevailing wind,” he adds. One-by-six-foot ipe planks comprise the decking, and hemlock end grain by the Oregon Lumber Company was installed indoors.
Opposite the dining room is an outdoor seating area overlooking the lap pool and gardens.
The kitchen and dining area seamlessly flow from the living room. Designed for entertaining, the space offers a 20-person dining table, three Gaggenau ovens, and a massive central island.
Another view of the living room, which is separated from the home office by a narrow light well and conservatory like space. Trees and other plantings provide a natural division between the two rooms.
Yet, the home's location in the hills above Berkeley can be most appreciated from the upper-level outdoor space. A wrap-around deck provides panoramic views of the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance.
400 SOLA's impressive kitchen is a mix of colors and textures. Homeowner Tobin Green designed the space to mesh many different styles in a way that feels urban and organic.
