_Maybeck Carriage House - Interior/Kitchen

Not the largest or most famous of Maybeck buildings, this cottage was built for a basic need. After the Maybeck's home burn to the ground, as did several Berkeley hillside homes in a 1923 fire, he built a cottage out of the remains of his carriage house, which was altered to accomodate his son's family. Modest yet full of amenities, this house is a charmer with an exact measure of style and function. Small it may be but it's detailing, innovation and use of materials make it a gem.
