A new San Francisco family home was born out of a house Levy Art + Architecture designed many years ago. As houses change hands over time, requirements evolve and families grow. As functionality and needs merge into more rooms within the same square footage, increased natural light, and new designs are born within the same space. Having previously designed this house for a different client, it was a refreshing experience to return to it for a new client and vision. Bernal Heights is a fast-growing family neighborhood and this project is a true expression of this phenomenon. Built on bedrock, it commands 360-degree views from the roof deck, accessible via a bespoke spiral staircase. The main floor has double height peaked ceilings and an open plan living space which leads into the kitchen. Access to the outside lower deck is facilitated with an easily foldable and seamless multipanel glass door system. All the features contribute to full daylight exposure throughout the day.

Professional Reviews

“Ross and his team did a fabulous job on both the architecture and design touches for our new home in SF. Ross listened deeply to our goals for the project, but offered his expert eye and judgment to create something far better than if he’d simply done exactly as asked. We’re thrilled with the results and frequently see passers by stopping to admire his work. Unusual for a talented architect, Ross has a deep understanding of and respect for the craft of building—that knowledge was invaluable for many key decisions we faced. When a materials price spike made a highly visible staircase cost-prohibitive, Ross came up with a creative solution we love! Equally important, he orchestrated that oh so vital “dance” among planning department, neighbors, and contractor. We loved LAA’s vision and aesthetic, but none of it means a thing if you can’t get it built. Ross’s ability to bring all the parties along was critical to the success of the project. We choose LAA for their architectural and design talent, but we did not realize just how critical all these other skills are to getting what you really want—a home you love.”
