YEAR
2007
This
house addition on a typical San Francisco lot doubles the size of the existing
non-descript 1954 “Contractor’s Special”. Our strategy carves out a series of
strongly contained, yet open, outdoor rooms that carefully balance between
engaging the site’s expansive urban views and maintaining a distinctly private
domestic realm. The initial move is to carve a new small internal outdoor
courtyard and entry out of one of the existing bedrooms, bringing light into
the center of the new scheme. The rear façade and third floor roof decks build
on this strategy of carving voids out of a solid mass—perhaps an apt image of
the way many urbanites create their private homes within the density of the
city.
