| Posted: 27 Aug 2010 09:20 AM PDT On a sloping site high above San Francisco Bay in Oakland, California lays some magnificent vistas sprawling from the Bay Bright to the Golden Gate Bridge. There is one vista that stands magnificently in this prime Oakland area. It has the impression of a paradise sneaking right in front of nothing-land. Think of a piece of UFO in your favorite park and you get the notion of what I am driving home.
Designed by Kanner Arch architects, this Oakland house captures the imagination of what we'd all love to call home. But it looks more like a seven-star hotel than normal home. What strikes the eye most is the generous use of glass. The architects of this house used plenty of it; huge windows everywhere you might think you are outside in the woods instead of inside the splendor of the Master bedroom. Even the adjacent four guest bedrooms and the kitchen all have unlimited use of glass. If you stand on the natural shrubs outside from the down-slope neighborhood and you look upwards, you will love how the view of the house blends well to the clear California weather above.

| Beautiful Contemporary Home in Venice Beach, California Posted: 27 Aug 2010 08:23 AM PDT I have never seen this house but I have fallen in love with it. When I grow up, this is the place I'd like to be going home every evening after work because I already have a strong feeling that I will never get tired of it. From my research, this graceful home in Venice Beach, California does not make use of a single architectural design- it's an amalgamation of ideas from different people, designs and cultures. Thus when Lewin Wertheimer, its chief architect, sent down to work, he utilized Japanese, Mediterranean and Californian architecture so that if you are the kind of person who boost of international connections, all your guests will feel at home in this luxurious beach home. Here are the statistics: over three thousand square feet, enough garage-room for two vehicles, two bedrooms, a guest studio and don't read me wrong here-all its rooms are designed in the letter 'L' to apparently create a '3D harmony of form and proportion' { Lewin Wertheimer }
