This dramatic remodel of a non-descript 1950s hillside residence converts a two-story structure into a
three-story home for a growing family. The home boasts contrasting but remarkable views of the city of
San Francisco to the east and Sutro Tower to the west. The front and rear facades employ 20-foot-tall,
30-inch-deep steel brise soleils to deflect light and simultaneously frame cherished views while editing
out less desirable ones. The southern and northern anchor walls are skinned with hand troweled plaster
and create visual and mental privacy from the adjoining neighboring homes. In between these walls
reside crystalline glass-and-steel exterior structures that provide the family with remarkable eastern views
of downtown San Francisco and beautiful sunset views through a canopy of backyard trees. A living
roof provides ample insulation and rain water purification as well as an inviting natural respite within the
confines of an urban setting.
The interior of the home is sheathed in numerous species of wood that exude visual and tactile warmth.
Custom built-in furniture furthers the intimate quality within the house, while maximizing function within
a modest building footprint. A biophilic ethos was paramount for the home owners and permeates every
room of the home.
