GVB House

2012 - 17

This house is located on a rare vacant lot in San Francisco. The site is narrow and steeply sloped but with breathtaking vistas of the city and bay. Our design solution was to connect together all the disparate experiences of ground by arranging the front and rear rooms in a split level relationship, all connected by a bridge-like stair between them. Next to this stair, the building volume is carved away so the rear rooms of the house can take advantage of the vista.
