San Francisco
This early-twentieth-century San Francisco loft was converted for residential usage in the 1990s. Working in collaboration with NYC based architects Fiedler Marciano Architecture, the goal was to elevate the architectural shell and interior spaces—by reconfiguring interior walls to float below the existing metal trusses, and introducing discreet objects within the open plan—in order to create a more sophisticated space that makes a suitable backdrop for a highly curated collection of contemporary art. Nevertheless, despite the refinements and atypical materials and finishes, the loft retains the airiness and muscular brio of its original industrial incarnation.
