The Bachenheimer Building (Completed 2004)

This 44 unit project was designed by the same architect at The Gaia Building, though it is more evocative of the Arts and Crafts style of Bernard Maybeck rather than the Mediterranean Revival look of Julia Morgan, which the Gaia Building has sought to emulate.

Location

Located one block west of campus, where Shattuck Ave. intersects University Ave., the Bachenheimer Building sits at one of the most central locations in the city, a close to BART, UC, the Gourmet Ghetto, and all the shops and stores of Downtown. The building is 50 yards from two AC Transit bus stops, which have service to the campus and the Amtrak station starting at 5:00 AM and ending at 1:00 AM.

The Apartments

The 44 apartments in the building consist of 1 and two bedroom units, many with views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate, the UC campus and the Berkeley Hills, or downtown Berkeley. A landscaped roof deck covers almost all of the roof.

Extras

All the apartments come with refrigerators, microwaves, and gas stoves. They also include a kitchen table and chairs for the use of the tenants. The apartments have spacious bathrooms, extra soundproofing, and ample cabinet storage space in the kitchens.

There are high-speed internet access outlets (T-1) in the kitchen areas and in the bedrooms of each unit. Elfa shelving storage units are also included as part of the furnishings.

Security and Safety

The Bachenheimer Building is complies with the City's current regulations, as evident in the 2002 California Building Code, for seismic and fire safety standards, and come with fire sprinklers in every room. There is a direct fire alarm system to thee Berkeley Fire Department. The lobby has a closed circuit TV recorder, which allows residents to see who is at the entry, and which records all entrances and exits of the people coming into the building.
