Getting Back To Business: Good news for the Berkeley site...

Good news for the Berkeley site where the historic Sequoia Building on the corner of Telegraph and Haste was destroyed by a fire. The owners of the site have wasted no time in figuring out what to do next, and have submitted plans to the city for a temporary resurrection. The "canopy-like tents fixed to concrete pads, along with three shipping containers which would be used to house kitchens" will allow two restaurants that were gutted to reopen. "it will have an ad hoc quality, but could be really fun," Oakland architect Kirk Peterson, who designed the space, said. "It's a unique application and no-one has ever done this here which puts it into its own category. The owners want to get their businesses up and running again and the city is interested in moving things along as quickly as possible to help the neighborhood." [Berkeleyside]

On the Market: Berkeley Craftsman Cute Despite HDR Overkill

× Like us and you'll find top breaking news in your Facebook newsfeed. Sign up for our daily email newsletter and get top stories and breaking news delivered to your inbox. Tuesday, November 22, 2011, by Anna Marie This Berkeley Hills 3-bed, 2-bath home wants a buyer…and a photographer with wee less dedication to HDR photography. Currently each bedroom appears to feature small UFOs in the ceiling. But otherwise we dig this pad: 1,839 square feet of Craftsman at 1195 Keeler Ave means you're not too far from some of Berkeley’s best food and hiking, all for $729,000 (quite a bit less than it sold for in 2005, by the way, when the price tag was $850K). Fave feature is the outdoor shower. Not sure how that would work if we actually tried to rent the possible in-law being advertised since it seems to look out upon said shower, but perhaps dedicated shower hours or degrees of acceptable nudity can be negotiated in the lease. This is, after all, Berkeley.

Demolition Porn: Berkeley: Mr. Kapor, 4th Horseman, Builds His Dream House

Demolition begins at 2707 Rose Street [Photo Credit: Jason Strauss via Berkeleyside]

In classic Berkeley fashion, there's been a brush fire raging over Freada Klein and Mitch Kapor's plans to build a new house on Rose Street, and this week demolition began on the dilapidated 1920's house that stood in the way. While the immediate neighbors supported the new construction, it seems like everyone else in Berkeley had (and still has) an opinion over the size of the Lotus software mogul's house and its accompanying subterranean ten-car garage. The Berkeley City Council denied an appeal of the Zoning Board's approval late last week. The Klein-Kapor's lot is large enough to absorb the project in 40% of the lot area and it fits within the buildable envelope. Additionally, the ten-car garage is mostly for visitors, since parking on Rose Street has always been problematic, plus they're putting in a turn-around at the end of the street where there was none previously. Comments in Berkeleyside's fourteen previous posts have that cluck-cluck you're-destroying-the-planet attitude from people who seem overly attached to someone else's shrubberies, although the project fits within Berkeley's green construction parameters. Probably it just means that critical thinking in Berkeley tends towards the Apocalyptic. So how green is an underground garage? Not much, but it's greener than street parking, if only because storm-water runoff can be managed. And a whole lot more attractive.
