When architect Karl Wanaselja built his home in Berkeley, California the junkyard became his urban forest for materials. For months he visited one of three local yards looking for car roofs and Dodge Caravan side windows. The windows became awnings and the roofs became siding for the top floor of his home. Since its inception in 1991, Leger Wanaselja Architecture has been a leader in green design.
The firm has won numerous awards and been featured in many books, periodicals and other media, highlighting our exploration of green architecture. The goal for every project is to shrink the ecological footprint while creating lyrical and enduring buildings. Integrating our clients' needs with the specifics of a site, our projects emerge naturally from their surroundings and use energy and material resources efficiently.
Light filled indoor-outdoor spaces often figure prominently. To reinforce the relationship of project to place we incorporate local materials, reuse existing materials and mark sunlight's patterns in our work.
