The Weston Havens House is a historic Modernist and International Style house in the Panoramic Hill neighborhood of Berkeley, California, built in 1940. John Weston Havens Jr. (1903–2001) commissioned the architect Harwell Hamilton Harris (1903–1990) to design a custom house suited to Havens' interests and preferences.
The Weston Havens House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 11, 2008. It is recognized as an example of regional California Modernist style, with its radical design that looks outward from the hill to a view of the Pacific, along with its use of materials such as Douglas fir and redwood.
