A well-read, well-traveled couple commissioned this house as a counterpoint to their small apartment in a San Francisco high rise. Their house was to hold their books and collection of artifacts from around the world.  The program called for ?his and hers? offices at opposite ends of the house, encouraging focus but allowing for interaction around the central kitchen.  They wanted a place to read and write in the reflective and inspiring coastal setting.

From the architect. A well-read, well-traveled couple commissioned this house as a counterpoint to their small apartment in a San Francisco high rise. Their house was to hold their books and collection of artifacts from around the world.  The program called for ?his and hers? offices at opposite ends of the house, encouraging focus but allowing for interaction around the central kitchen.  They wanted a place to read and write in the reflective and inspiring coastal setting.
