Nautical Theme for a San Francisco Perch

Translucent glass is all that comes between the eyes of passers-by and the master bathroom in the middle floor of this San Francisco home above Dolores Park by Craig Steely Architecture.

It is an astonishing feat of privacy maintenance while fully opening a very urban home to the view.

The translucent glass has a lovely turquoise wash, reflecting the nautical theme of the view.

Other than the turquoise, the bathroom material palette is limited to a cool veined marble…

… and a matte charcoal slate, the perfect foil for the white porcelain.

A nautical theme plays out with circular porthole windows.

On the top floor of the very citified townhouse, the architects spring a surprise.

A private stairway up the side of the house leads to the clients’ very own rooftop beach shack!

Here, simple materials are reminiscent of the rough weathered woods of driftwood and boardwalks.

Nothing but glass between the lounger and the view!

Up here, marble is married to a rather more earthy pine for a semi-outdoor barbecue kitchen overlooking a hot tub in the small garden in the back.

And in the front, a living room perch from which to watch the San Francisco city lights.
