The racquetball court/guest house and pool cabana were a part of a series of new structures that Stein Architects designed on this 8-acre estate.
Other projects, including renovation of the main house and a new garage and music building were designed but not completed.
The construction is located in a secluded area of the property.
The court is built into a hill, with hilltop entry serving both court and guest suite.
The structure is a large rectangular box with only one exterior side exposed.
The design carves away at the front elevation, recessing the entry under a heavy trellis supported by pergola elements similar to those at the existing main house.

Frederick Reimers, a well-known architect responsible for the design of many fine Piedmont California homes, originally designed this residence in 1929.
The master bath and bedroom had been remodeled several times over the years.
Our task was to redesign the last remodeling from 1960.
The Owners wanted the spaces to appear as if they were the house's original rooms, but with current fixtures and materials.
Therefore, the new spaces had to be harmonious with the rest of the existing home.
Careful attention was paid to creating details similar to those of the original house, as well as using new materials that work well with existing finishes.

This home is located on a large property in Piedmont.
The residence is a Mediterranean style home with mature landscaping.
The office was involved with several remodelings over the years in addition to the creation of a second unit.
The project carefully blended new work with the existing home so that it appears as if the residence was never remodeled or additions were made to the original structure.
Our initial design effort involved the remodeling of the facade of the house and the landscaping of the rear yard as decks and stair elements were added to the residence.

The East Bay Chapter of the American Institute of Architects moved from their 14th Street storefront to new spaces in Oakland's City Center.
