Alice House was thoughtfully inspired by the vibrant wildlife thriving in the enchanting ecosystem of Lake Merritt and surrounding Art-deco architecture of downtown Oakland. ust as the diverse array of creatures coexist harmoniously in this urban oasis, the design captures the essence of their beauty and vitality. Earthy tones reminiscent of the lake’s serene surroundings blend with lively pops of color mirroring the feathers of its resident birds.
