FLIP HOUSE
Like many San Francisco homes, this one poorly integrated its many levels with each other and with its sloping topography and solar orientation.
Reversing its reading, we recast the back of the house as its primary façade with a faceted, custom-built glass wall. This dynamic prism brings animating light and spectacular views to the communal living spaces, now placed at the rear.
We also rationalized the circulation, replacing disconnected staircases with one rear stair that smoothly links all three levels and the garden below. The street-level entry now leads to a generous foyer that is open to this staircase and to a guest room/den.
The open plan of the second floor allows the kitchen and living room space to look down into this den and outward to the striking city, Bay, and garden vistas beyond.
