A
guide to interesting homes and commercial buildings. |
Perched high up in the hills of Twin Peaks overlooking the City and the East
Bay, this pink stucco home shares the street with two other homes featured here:
the cute one with the brick and glass and the
white box with the skinny windows. Beyond
the front door is a private courtyard. The gate is a bronzed metal with a square
motif - probably not original. The house isn't very large unless it has another
level stepped down the hill. I like the basic unadorned flat surfaces and clean
lines. The thin window above the garage is mysterious yet elegant, and the angled
roof provides a strong, masculine assertiveness to the home. This is a no nonsense
building that is self-confident. The bathroom pink color works against the blue
sky and the surrounding greenery.
