Twin Peaks Residences, San Francisco / Michael Hennessey Architecture
This three-unit residential building is created from an ordinary single-family home that was suffering from years of neglect in San Francisco.
This three-unit residential building is created from an ordinary single-family home that was suffering from years of neglect in San Francisco.
A plan was implemented to create 3 new apartments over 4 levels, each unit featuring two levels and stacked over each other in a dynamic fashion. New views of Twin Peaks, the Bay and the mid block open space gardens are features of each unit.
Spanning the 7th and 8th floors in a downtown San Francisco high rise, the Sentry HQ incorporates the diverse urban textures that surround its vibrant, quirky palette.
The program for this ground-up, single-family residence is organized in a rational manner in an attempt to create visually simple spaces serving as the backdrop to a family’s daily activities.
This two-unit residential building proposes an alternative to conventional building strategies found throughout San Francisco. At the front elevation, a modern bay window is employed, contributing to the scale and rhythm of the more traditional bay windows found on this street.
To celebrate the 1923 brick building’s natural, industrial character Blitz designed a comfortable work/meet environment that is elevated and approachable.
Built in 1903 and bought in 2001, the original house was dark and closed off, with no view to speak of. So the couple enlisted Ross Levy of Levy Art + Architecture to blow the roof off
Occupying five floors of the Rincon Center, this new workplace is the second collaboration between Twilio and Blitz.
