An iconic house in an iconic neighborhood, the Caplin House was the first solo project of world-renowned architect Frederick Fisher, who worked in Frank Gehry’s office in the 1970s.

The home’s different design elements converge in a spectacular central atrium with an exposed beam ceiling, oversized skylights, and lofted balconies.
