2137 Dwight Way, Berkeley

ArtHaus Dwight at 2137 Dwight Way is a privately-owned student housing development that includes a new 6-story building with 58 new units and retains 8 units in two 2-story existing buildings within the site.

The architectural design of the building enhances the pedestrian experience while minimizing the scale and mass. Recessed areas with planting, an angled storefront wall and exterior stairs with metal accent panels provide visual interest and an active street front at the ground floor.

The forms in the new building feature open air exterior walkways with exposed glulam beams to create a warmth that ties the building together. One of the forms is angled to accentuate the break and to allow natural light to filter into the courtyard. Ample amount of landscaping is provided in the open-air central courtyard and areas between the new and existing buildings.
