This one, built by Canivet Construction, was for a pair of architects. The design was driven more in the modern direction by their sensibilities.

Another North Berkeley Revamp and Addition
Posted in Design Projects, tagged addition, Back Porch, bathroom, Berkeley, energy efficiency, kitchen, remodel, storage on July 20, 2019| Leave a Comment »
The clients desired a refreshed kitchen and another bathroom. They ended up updating much of the house including a new ducted mini split heating system, new patio and porch, insulation and air sealing throughout, interior and exterior paint, and a lot more storage.
I’ll first give you a few before shots of this little stucco house.

Here are a few before shots. The main impetus for remodel was to get the refrigerator out of the middle of the view to the back yard and to improve the strange, low-ceilinged laundry room addition at the back.

Small Addition for a Woman and her Ficus
Posted in Design Projects, tagged bathroom, Berkeley, Ficus, garden, houses, process, small addition on November 2, 2013| 1 Comment »
This small addition is a spa-like bathroom designed to be more accommodating to a person growing older. My client also wanted space for plants in the room, including her large ficus plant that was outgrowing her house. They are getting close to finishing the project, but I took some photos of the almost finished interior. Most of the interior design elements were chosen by the client…but deedsdesign guided the project in subtle ways.
Some of the collaborators:
Richard Pollack Tile, Peter Renoir Plumbing, Semolina Design (Provided and fabricated the Richlite remnant), Angress Construction

I have always liked this simple and affordable way to open cabinet drawers. This is a bathroom cabinet for a project here in Berkeley, CA.

UL Listed Light Fixture Research
Posted in Design Projects, Information, tagged bathroom, code, lighting design on September 20, 2013| Leave a Comment »
My client would like a surface mounted track light over her bathroom vanity. I wanted certainty that code would allow a fixture rated only for dry locations in a bathroom. I found this article written by Mark Ode, a staff engineering associate at Underwriters Laboratory Inc on the website for the UL Company.
According to Mark, a dry location luminaire must be installed in a location that is not normally subjected to dampness but may be subjected to temporary dampness. With the proper ventilation, above a bathroom vanity fits this qualification. Inside the shower of course, where water can easily splash on a fixture, a fixture must be wet rated.
His article also explains the difference between wet, damp, and dry UL ratings, as well as a few less common ratings for light fixtures.
