This renovated San Francisco warehouse, humorously called the Tehama Grasshopper, keeps the exterior much "as is" and carves up the concrete frame interior to bring light inside and create a courtyard. A penthouse addition is visible in this photo from across Tehama Street.
From across the street, it's apparent how the rooftop piece is a new element on the two-story building. The glass enclosure is not totally alien — it is approximately the size of one of the windows below — but the articulation of the glass and framing make it even more open than the existing windows.
