Wisconsin Street Overlook

The design concept for this project references the historic pier on the SF waterfront where the clients were married. They asked us to design a playfully interactive space that emphasized verticality. They also wanted to incorporate exposed structure and tactile materials into a minimalist setting.

Their new home, with a view of the port, showcases aspects of early 20th-century industrial architecture with high ceilings, internal overlooks, floor-to-ceiling windows, and exposed beams and steel ties. The home is flooded with natural light from various directions during the day, and strategically placed lighting fixtures cast playful shadows at night. 

The overall effect is that of a modern yet comfortable home for a young family.
