Berkeley Brass

17,000 sq ft building renovation and addition in West Berkeley, CA. 75% of the steel was reclaimed in situ; west facade is built of 100% post-consumer recycled polyethylene. Bamboo shades the west facing glazing from direct west insolation while clerestory windows and high-albedo ceiling creates a light manufacturing space with lively natural spectral effects. Project with Michael Goldin.
