Pacific Heights Residence

Located in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights enclave, this renovation and addition transforms a single-family home into a two-dwelling residence for multi-generational living. The new volume’s tall, horizontal teak windows punctuate the dark shou sugi ban siding. Inside, a warm neutral palette of white oak floor, marble counters, and refined oak millwork complement the richly detailed exterior and verdant landscaping. At the rear, the horizontal addition resolves the challenges of the steep cross-sloped site. Here, a roof terrace framed by a series of floor-to-ceiling windows opens to sweeping bay views, creating a communal destination within the home for family and friends of all ages.
