Project: Sky Gallery Residence Nob Hill, San Francisco |
Completion Year: 2017 | Contractor: Muratore Corp | Photos: Cesar Rubio
The starting point for this renovation was a dated penthouse apartment in a 1960’s high rise atop Nob Hill in San Francisco which was surviving well below its potential. This penthouse, which soars over the neighborhood and has 270 degree views from the Bay, South San Francisco, Pacific Ocean, and Golden Gate Bridge, still felt closed off, small, and uninspired. The overlapping focuses of this renovation were to increase the volume and penthouse feel, to layer and create a hierarchy of private and public spaces, and to highlight the views and also the owner’s extensive art collection. A modern contrasting palette of chesnut stained White Oak, Haisa Stone, Calcatta Marble, and pure white walls and cabinetry create a classic modern and stunning backdrop.
