Fold House, the latest creation from the women architect-duo Artifact Collaborative, is a new construction home dramatically situated in the Berkeley Hills. Every west-facing window & door frames an unparalleled 180-degree panorama of San Francisco & the Golden Gate Bridge, offering a daily spectacle you won’t find anywhere else. The home’s name is derived from its central design motif: the dynamic articulation of planes that create interlocking volumes. This concept is expressed internally by two-story floating staircases that create vertical sculptures, while the unique creased roofline peels upward to capture light through a triangulated clerestory window, bathing the interiors with natural light. This is truly a home designed to both inspire & endure.Beyond its dramatic aesthetics, the Fold House offers an uncompromising modern lifestyle defined by sustainability and resilience. This all-electric home is engineered for the future, featuring a solar PV system with battery, high-efficiency heat pumps for year-round comfort, and an EV charger. Built from the ground up to the latest standards, it features seismic-resistant foundations (pier and grade beam/mat slab) and fire-hardened construction with durable standing seam metal and plaster and a fire sprinkler system Views: Downtown
