Exterior View, Backyard
Approaching the front door, details appear such as crisp aluminum address numbers and mail slot, sandblasted glass and metal entry doors and the sleek lines of the metal roof, as the flush granite floor passes into the house leading to the view beyond
Exterior View, Entry
The fireplace acts as a pivot point for the design, as it faces the Bay view while its backside becomes the crossing main hallway and a shaft of light becomes the center point.
Skylight, Living Room Beyond
The Golden Gate Bridge is directly ahead through the tall glass window wall, and to the right is the open living room, to the left the dining room, all sitting on polished custom colored radiant heated concrete floors.
Living Room, Patio Beyond
Arriving at the new deck terrace, solid walls edit views of the industrial neighborhood below and focus attention on the San Francisco Bay view beyond.
Patio
The living room has walnut built-in cabinets housing home theater equipment over a border of black river rock which turns into a black granite plinth under the fireplace which is rimmed with luminescent tile.
Living Room
The rich combination of textures and materials comes together near the entry as the smooth concrete floors end in the honed black granite fireplace plinth, and in the band of spotted gum wood floors which transition smoothly into gray granite pavers under the custom entry bench.
Living Room, Entry Beyond
Natural woods such as red cedar walls in the living room surround the walnut cabinets, and douglas fir sliding doors with rice paper embeded glass is seen beyond one of our custom designed tables made of chestnut and crafted in Japan by Conde House.
Dining Room Living Room Beyond
Zodiaq countertops finish off walnut cabinets in the kitchen with stainless steel accents in the appliances, sinks, faucets, and appliance garage doors - more Green technology in the form of on-demand flash hot water heaters were used, along with electrical converters to convert the solar cell...
Kitchen
Near the dining area, a special niche echoes the color of Japanese lacquerware.
Reading Nook
Opposite the bathtub is a water closet behind a wall of walnut vanities, stone counters, glass tile backsplash and flush mirrors - a custom recirculating hot water system ensures that hot water is everywhere when needed.
Bathroom Vanity
A dramatic striated black tile wall shoots through into the shower, unifying the room visually, as does the simple shower with a flush floor sloped to drain into a linear aluminum trough, while a new skylight washes the vanity counter in daylight.
Bathroom
Sustainable measures are seamlessly integrated into the design where in addition to radiant heated concrete floors and on-demand hot water heaters these self-adhesive thin-film photovoltaic solar strips were applied between the ridges of the standing seam metal roof providing "off the grid"...
