NEW HOME
A three-story urban motor court on the entry side, belies an expansive
private patio behind this main residence. Situated adjacent to the San
Francisco Bay, the building is organized around a large outdoor room with
sweeping views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. This sun-filled
central space for sitting, swimming and relaxing is pulled inside the
building through large trellis framed patio openings and the warm colored
plaster which runs continuously both inside and outside the home. Heat
gain and glare is passively mitigated by the trellises, and a sod roof
over part of the building controls thermal lag. The project contains many
features including an infinity edge pool, a spa, entertainment area and
outdoor rotisserie.
