The site on a steep cross-slope in Potrero Hill afforded a rare opportunity requiring a rare architectural solution. In a city with so many different kinds of incredible views, this one is a true front-row seat. The entire north side of the building looks out above the neighboring building with a straight-on view of the city skyline. We opted for a reverse floorplan, allowing the family to live their lives with this view every day. Gentle north light suffuses the greatroom with 12’ tall ceilings. We staggered the mullions of the fire-rated glazing to allow the windows to play against the skyline. Huge sliding doors give out to a front terrace and a secret staircase leads up to a roof deck above.
