While this was not the goal of our visit, my fictional project became real as the developer selected my design to be constructed in its entirety. The design was handed off to Arosemena and Soundy Arquitectos to carry through construction. - [The Penthouse Apartment](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-penthouse-apartment-pj-vj~7509311) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 5 - Description: A beautiful Penthouse Apartment that I worked on early in my career with Skurman Architects and Tucker and Marks. I developed the intricate vault systems through the entry and learned the importance of materials through the use of distressed, reclaimed pine in the Family Room. - [An Historical Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/an-historical-renovation-pj-vj~7509286) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 5 - Description: This is a project I worked on with Walker Warner.
