Situated above San Francisco’s Dolores Park on a steep web site bordering a public garden, the decidedly tiny house, (only 1800 square feet) builds on this steep lot as efficiently as possible.</p><br/><img alt="peter house san francisco craig steely architecture Peter’s House In San Francisco By Craig Steely Architecture materials " height="700" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/peter-house-san-francisco-craig-steely-architecture_.jpg" title="Peter’s-House-San Francisco-Craig-Steely-Architecture-1" width="467" /><br/><p>Rather than the standard building practice of locating foundations staggered up the hillside, Peter’s residence locates a 24 ft. x 24 ft. cast-in-place concrete garage at the lowest level and builds a 3-story glass tower above it, altering the land and native hillside drainage very tiny. The top living floor then spans from a flat plateau at top of the lot to the tower like a bridge, essentially lowering the amount of excavation generally involved in building of this kind by 2/3.</p><br/><img alt="peter house san francisco craig steely architecture Peter’s House In San Francisco By Craig Steely Architecture materials " height="374" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/peter-house-san-francisco-craig-steely-architecture__.jpg" title="Peter’s-House-San Francisco-Craig-Steely-Architecture-3" width="500" /><br/><p>Beyond the structural challenges, the greatest issue in designing Peter’s home was opening the constructing to the expansive view although maintaining a level of privacy from the sidewalk and garden that pass alongside. Around the time the property was becoming created, the new on-ramp to the Golden Gate Bridge was below building which necessitated clearing a grove of Monterey Cypress trees in it is path from the Presidio. We secured some of these trees and operating with a local milling shop turned them into 90 solid wood louvers (fixed on the exterior/operable on the interior) that regulate openness and privacy.</p><br/><p>Photography: Bruce Damonte.</p><br/></p><br/><p>
