Maybeck designed many of the Bay Area's most treasured buildings. His homes, both small and grand, incorporated features considered radical at the time, including shingles, rough redwood interiors, and huge hand-wrought fireplaces. His public commissions include the First Church of Christ, Scientist in Berkeley, considered Maybeck's masterpiece, with its Gothic influences, brilliant color, and all interior furnishings designed by the architect.
