What does a roof deck look like when every part of the roof, even areas deemed uninhabitable and structurally weak, is utilized and optimized? This large midcentury home on the edge of Presidio National Park in San Francisco had an incredible location and views. But the original roof deck suffered from poor design detailing that had rendered it a leaking, deteriorating mess. Even worse, the previous owner had covered three roof areas surrounding the deck with river stones, structurally overloading the building and endangering its occupants. We removed the river stones and everything else down to the framing. An expertly detailed drainage and waterproofing system underlies everything above. The deck and access stairs are surfaced with durable and refined porcelain pavers. The guardrail is made from custom stainless steel supports with clear, low-iron, laminated glass spanning between for an unobstructed view. Heated seats make watching the chilly fog roll in through the gate comfy. Planting and greenery surround the deck. The type varies depending on structural conditions- a deep planter sits on top of a structural wall, sedums in shallow soil occupy the strong edges of the surrounding rooftops, and faux grass turf fills out the middle in areas that can’t support the weight of wet soil.

Extended roof overhang and northeastern exposure limits sun overload at the window, so there's no need for blinds or curtains. Instead, colorful art fills the approximately 12" high wall space over the window and focuses the eye on the garden view.

Kids bedrooms can get overloaded with toys, media and clothes. Let go of what is outgrown and outdated to create a serene space.

This kitchen is inspired by the European style with its straight lines and curated design. No cabinets overload here, minimalism is of the essence! We made sure to optimise the space in order for it to be functional and light. However, this kitchen is far from boring with its curvy peninsula embellished with textured wood paneling, which is clearly the centerpiece of the room. It can be seen throughout the open area and creates a dynamic effect for the whole house. Appliances are strategically placed on the wall facing the sink and window so they are hidden, yet accessible. The coffee cabinet with pocket doors can conceal small appliances or display a bistro look if desired. Lastly, the wooden shelves beautifully complete the look by adding warmth to this refined kitchen.
