Under the guidance of the home’s original architect, Tom Lowe, the current owners performed a 10-year renovation that includes a garage-turned-ADU.
Another slice of architectural history is up for grabs in the Bay Area. Dating back to 1975, the multilevel dwelling, originally designed by prolific architect Tom Lowe, sits nestled in the hills of Berkeley, California.
After acquiring the Berkeley home in 2011, current owners Kate and Casey McEachern renovated the space from top to bottom and even converted the garage into an ADU. This home adheres to the midcentury ethos of architecture blending with the environment, says Kate McEachern, who, along with her partner, Casey, purchased the property from the original owners in 2011. We were stunned by the view of Claremont Canyon the first time we walked in.

UC Berkeley s Claremont Canyon Evacuation Support Project removed eucalyptus trees lining Claremont Avenue in an effort to maintain fire evacuation routes for city residents.
In a project spearheaded by UC Berkeley, eucalyptus trees lining Claremont Avenue have been removed in an effort to maintain fire evacuation routes for city residents.
The project, titled the Claremont Canyon Evacuation Support Project, started operations in November 2020, according to campus spokesperson Janet Gilmore. By January, trees within 100 feet of the pavement edge were removed by campus.
“This project is part of ongoing fire management plan implementation activities in the Hill Campus carried out by Facilities Services to ensure adequate emergency access and improve life safety for the public and campus affiliates,” the project memorandum states.
