Karl Kardel company awards
2013 Preservation Award: North Berkeley Public Library
Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association
Decades of heavy use had taken their toll on this beloved north Berkeley landmark. added to that, the structure was not seismically safe by 21st-century standards. Berkeley voters came to the rescue, voting funds for restoration and upgrades. The exterior received a fresh coat of paint whose color scheme matches Karl Kardel’s 1970s hand-mixed colors, obtained from crushed Northbrea Rhyolite—the yellowish rock endemic to North Berkeley.

2010 Preservation Award, Best Comprehensive Structural & Exterior Restoration: Thomas H. & Rose F. Nicholls House
Berkeley architectural heritage association
Heritage structures challenge the restorer to produce a result that would not be easily distinguishable from the original. This stately craftsman home, a century old this year, had suffered extensive deterioration, structural failures, insensitive modifications, and poor workmanship. Among the conditions requiring correction were drainage problems, water and carbon monoxide leaks.
The myriad well-integrated solutions are mostly invisible, such as the new waterproofed 3/4” plywood sheathing—part of an energy-saving air barrier system hidden behind the stucco. Copper sills, flashings, gutters, scuppers, and leaders were installed in a particularly artful way. The curved garden wall is built on a curved steel girder hovering a good foot above grade, with a thin stone “breakaway” skirt that provide the tree roots room to roam without causing costly damage or tipping. The sturdy balanced gates were designed to be sag-resistant and assembled with hundreds of hand-made copper rivets.
