In the aptly named Berkeley Hills neighborhood of Berkeley, California, a 1963 residence built by designer Louise Rigg for her family peeks out through the surrounding trees on a steep, wooded slope. The property at 131 Tamalpais Road showcases a number of the designer’s signature elements, including a material palette of polished concrete, brick, copper, and colorful glazed tiles, as well as ample glazing to bring natural light into the home.

Tucked behind a private, enclosed patio at the entrance, the front door opens to a spacious, sunken living/dining area with double-height ceilings and concrete floors. A tall copper fireplace adds a pop contrast against a brick wall, which sits adjacent to a fully glazed partition with sliding doors that connect to a large deck at the rear of the home.
