Located in the creative heart of Emeryville, this rare live/work loft infuses architectural gravitas into modern industrial living. Housed in a boutique converted warehouse with just six exclusive units, this home masterfully blends raw industrial elements with warm, sophisticated design.
Soaring wood barrel-vaulted ceilings, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, and skylights flood the space with natural light. Beautiful cherry wood floors run throughout, uniting the open-concept living areas. The kitchen is a showpiece in its own right, anchored by a Viking range and a sleek commercial-grade stainless steel island that speaks to both functionality and style—a dream for chefs and design enthusiasts alike.
A custom made black steel and clear plate-glass partition, by designer Matt Bear of Union Studio, lends structure to the space while maintaining its sense of openness. Complementing this is a striking custom staircase, its steel frame juxtaposed with warm cherry wood steps, leading to the second level. Here, the loft-style primary bedroom overlooks the gallery space below, offering an inspiring interplay of light, volume, and connection.
The gallery space itself is a two-story show space, perfect for creating or displaying large-scale artwork, with soaring walls and architectural lighting to highlight your creative vision.
The palette throughout the home is as artful as its design, with saturated forest greens and rich spice tones. The hues interplay to give visual separation to the loft area bonus space and primary bedroom granting the upper bathroom a sculptural heft. This careful attention to color lends a sense of balance—grounding the industrial framework with warmth and personality.
The home’s private two-car garage offers deep steel shelving that can accommodate everything from practical storage to heavy sculpture and ceramics. It’s a true extension of the live/work ethos, allowing artistry and utility to coexist seamlessly.
Located just half a block from the Emeryville Greenway bike and pedestrian path, this loft offers easy access to Berkeley Bowl, shopping, public transport, and major freeways. With no rental restrictions, it’s a flexible and inspiring home for artists, entrepreneurs, or anyone seeking a dynamic urban retreat. A residence as rare as it is remarkable, this loft is more than a home—it’s an artful expression of your personal style.

Neighborhood
Emeryville is a small corridor between Berkeley and Oakland bordered by the eastern shore of the Bay. Though geographically the city is small—just a bit more than one square mile—there’s a great deal of function and influence packed into it. Emeryville’s prime location is the hub of several major freeways and is an important transcontinental railway connection with service to Seattle, Los Angeles and Chicago.
Known as a dynamic arts and music community, you’ll find various works of art throughout the community in the public domain. The Art in Public Places Program, as commissioned by the city government, has attracted a growing population of artists and musicians specializing in traditional as well as high-tech mediums.
The major employer is Pixar Animation Studios. Locals who enjoy Pixar’s iconic animated feature films can often spot local landmarks and references in many of those movies. Another major employer is IKEA, which anchors the well-known Bay Street shopping complex, an imaginative collection of retailers, entertainment, hospitality and residential opportunities. The destination shopper’s paradise comprises more than 382,000 square feet and draws visitors from all over the greater Bay Area.
