Now on the market—one of only ten built
homes by Bay Area modernist architect
For those few Bay Area residents who own a home designed by mid-century architect Jack Hillmer, they indeed possess a rare treasure.
Hillmer, whose residential designs are represented by only a handful of built projects, had an "approach to architecture that was as an art," it's been said. There's also a delicacy to his provocative designs, which—considering his favored use of heavy, raw materials, and the fact that he was not a licensed architect—is nothing short of remarkable.
One of Hillmer's designs, the architect's tenth and final completed residential project, is currently on the East Bay market. Built late in Hillmer's career, the home was completed in 1996, yet radiates mid-century personality.
