Stylistically attributed to architect John Nance of Confer, Crossen and Nance, the three unit condominium buidling was constructed in 1980 utilizing a townhouse typology. Framestudio have comprehensively re-designed the interior of the unit, and created an architectural space that feels authentically of the period and encompasses unobtrusive contemporary technology.
The townhouse is distinctive not only for being the home of a creative industry professional, but also for being a homage to the Northern Calfornia modernism now known as the Third Bay Tradition, which has become synonymous with The Sea Ranch. Thoughtful details abound such as natural rubber and cork flooring, old growth redwood trim, and preserved Agrob Buchtal tile, made in West Germany, and quintessentially of the period.
The monochrome custom kitchen was custom designed with Fenix dark red cabinets and countertops. The mirrored backsplash captures the views of the San Franscisco Bay from both the kitchen and from the built-in dining area. A pale blue wall introduces a soft, curvilinear element and reinforces the color palette selected in homage to Le Corbusier.
The bathroom is a seamless blend of original design and thoughtful interventions. German tile constrasts with nautical blue cabinetry and Hewi hardware and accessories.
