“We crammed a lot into a sleek facade,” says
Feldman. “There is even extra-deep storage
behind the cooktop and sink.”
Interior designer Lisa Lougee specified a
warm, gray and white palette throughout. In
the kitchen, a mid-toned gray wood veneer is
teamed with a lighter grained laminate and
quartzite countertops. Overhead, a large kinetic
sculpture by local artist Reuben Margolin
appears to extrude through the metal screen.

On the floor immediately below the living
level, the passage is flooded with light from the
glass floor in the kitchen. This hallway leads to
the master suite at the rear of the house.
One wall in the suite is placed at a 45° angle
to maximize the view from the bed out towards
downtown San Francisco. On the other side of
the wall, the angle adds interest to the bathroom, which Lougee lined with Athens Silver
Cream marble tiles.
Other special features of the home include
photovoltaic panels on the roof – these are
angled in the opposite direction to the skylights.

walls of the master bathroom,

The bathroom wall is angled to
accommodate the position of the bed
in the bedroom on the other side.

master suite includes an upholstered
window seat where the owners can
enjoy the sun and view.
