A
guide to interesting homes and commercial buildings. |
This home is around the corner from the speculated Neutra
house. It is on one of the most beautiful streets in SF close to UCSF. I like
this home for several reasons. First the location. Second I like the rounded
roof which softens the rather cold, gray stained wood siding similar to the
home by Twin Peaks. The architect, if an architect
did design the house, allowed distinct parts of the home to stand alone: the
windows, the roof, the chimney. This was a popular style in the 1980s, though
the house could have been built later. The scale of the building in the landscape
is not overwhelming considering a larger home could have been built on the lot.
It blends into the surroundings and is pleasing to look at.
