en.Wedoany.com Reported - Studio KDA has submitted a preliminary permit on behalf of owner Nathan D. George of NX Ventures, under Senate Bill 684 (SB 684), for a residential development at 2201 Blake Street in South Berkeley. The project will transform the backyard of the historic Bartlett Houses, converting a former stable into a residence and constructing a new three-story duplex.

Development plans for the site have been advancing through local planning departments for several years. Studio KDA previously submitted a permit under Senate Bill 330 (SB 330) in 2024 to streamline the approval process, and now cites SB 684 to secure administrative approval and benefit from CEQA exemptions. The project will not involve the landmarked Bartlett Buildings along Blake Street. The primary landmark, West Bartlett House, was built in 1877 in the Victorian Italianate style; the secondary landmark, East Bartlett House, was built in 1892 in the Queen Anne architectural style.

According to the plan, the existing stable structure will be relocated closer to Fulton Street and converted into a single residential unit. Subsequently, a three-story duplex designed by Studio KDA will be constructed. Renderings show the building in a Victorian style, with wood or faux-wood siding and a wood-shingle roof.

The 0.3-acre site is located at the corner of Blake Street and Fulton Street, one block from Shattuck Avenue and three blocks from Telegraph Avenue. Estimated costs and construction timelines have not yet been disclosed.
