Oakland Loft is a Sanctuary for Life and Work

http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/281386... Photographer Nicolo Sertorio and research scientist Seonok Lee were looking for a spacious, multifunctional home with an easy commute to San Francisco. They found what they wanted in a 3,300-square-foot unit that’s part of a live-work community in Oakland once owned by artist Bruce Beasley in 1989 and designed in collaboration with architect Thomas Dolan. Working with architect Marc DiGiacomo, they converted their big, blank box into a modern living space with a studio for Sertorio’s photography business.
