Market Street Penthouse
San Francisco, CA, United States
The challenge posed by the design of this duplex penthouse was how to take advantage of the best asset of this corner unit - its dramatic diagonal downtown views. In the original space, they were compromised by discontinuous groupings of conventional double hung windows. Our design strategy visually unifies these random punched openings within a “sky zone,” a recessed linear slot that dynamically wraps the perimeter of the apartment. Painted grey/blue, it visually blends with the actual skyline. The duplex is programmatically sub-divided into two living strips that run parallel to this window wall. A darker inner band, lined with natural materials (walnut paneling and banquettes upholstered in deep blue mohair) defines the entry, stairwell and second floor pool/guest room. A bright outer zone, lit by windows, defines the double height corner living/media room and kitchen/dining area on the first floor and the master bedroom suite above. Its contrasting neutral palette of white and grey synthetic materials (concrete, fritted-glass, and stainless and powdercoated steel) focuses attention on the “sky zone” that frames city views. Interior apertures frame views between these contrasting areas.
