Given the existing footprint covered much of the lot, the goal was to make the most of the house’s relationship to this unique site.

The circulation for the site and house is a straight axis, interacting with the building’s forms as they ascend to the main entrance. 

Continuing at the interior, one’s experience along this axis is always anchored on the downhill end by Sutro Tower, and on the uphill end by a magnificent Monterey cypress tree.

The forms of the 3,180-square-foot house nest with each other, highlighted by their material palette of cedar, standing seam metal, and cementitious panels.

The crescendo of forms occurs at the front, nodding to quintessential San Francisco vernacular architecture.

An “inverted” Bay window box cantilevers eight feet from the facade highlighting three experiences of the “urban forest”.

Inside, the box frames a view of the “trunk” level. Above, a roof deck extends the living room, allowing an experience of the “canopy” level.
