Perched upon a sharply descending terrain, this newly imagined single-family residence telescopes its views 180 degrees across the breathtaking vistas of Oakland, San Francisco, and Marin County in the Bay Area.

Vision

Inspired by the playful arrangement of childhood building blocks, the design concept of "Shifting Cubes" seamlessly blends whimsy with functionality, accommodating the needs of its inhabitants without compromise. By ingeniously staggering each cube off-axis from one another, the design affords open-air balconies and invites natural light to gracefully permeate every corner of the residence.
