This project aims to be the first residence in San Francisco that is completely self-powering and carbon neutral. The architecture has been developed in conjunction with the mechanical systems and landscape design, each influencing the other to arrive at an integrated solution. Working from the historic façade, the design preserves the traditional formal parlors transitioning to an open plan at the central stairwell which defines the distinction between eras. The new floor plates act as passive solar collectors and radiant tubing redistributes collected warmth to the original, North facing portions of the house. Careful consideration has been given to the envelope design in order to reduce the overall space conditioning needs, retrofitting the old and maximizing insulation in the new.

Bar height table - Where is the high top table from? »
Levy Art & Architecture The Bar piece is produced by SieMatic cabinets. It is walnut. not sure about the finish as it was produced by the cabinet company.
The back of the house consists entirely of open living spaces, including the kitchen, allowing flow of light and air. Like the rest of the house, the kitchen was designed in a simple and efficient style. Custom cabinets, Caesarstone counters and glass tile combine in a seamless and modern look. Counters: Caesarstone
I like the cabinetry to too much of same material. Like bar seating with leather chairs. Like built in cabinetry but again would mix/match different doors. Cream uppers with a few frosted glass/stainless
