A hillside micro‑neighborhood—four lots, ADUs, and solar frames—merging SB‑9 density with Sea Ranch–style community.
4750 Park Boulevard reimagines a single‑family parcel in the Oakland hills as a compact, climate‑forward neighborhood.
Leveraging California’s SB‑9, the masterplan subdivides the site into four lots—each with one primary residence and two ADUs—to create a Sea Ranch–inspired compound that balances communal ethos with individual privacy. A new access road meets fire‑safety requirements while stitching the ensemble to the slope and views.
A clear diagram shaped by topography, solar performance, and policy.
Outboard structural frames carry PV arrays to power the cluster, while a gridded order yields to the hillside’s “flow,” producing a calibrated mix of repetition and picturesque variety—as if the buildings drift down the terrain like canoes. The project also serves as a Living Labs case study for next‑generation California housing policy and replicable, gentle densification.
