Redwood House by Studio Terpeluk
Redwood House is an inspiring two-story house located in San Francisco, California, redesigned in 2022 by Studio Terpeluk.
Description
Nestled among the California city?s neighborhood known for its streets lined with Victorian and Edwardian style homes, Studio Terpeluk www.studioterpeluk.com completes the renovation of a 1974 two-story house of an American creative couple on the gentle slopes of Noe Valley, a picturesque area in San Francisco surrounded by private gardens and lush vegetation.
The Redwood House was originally designed by prominent San Francisco architect Albert Lanier, who animated the city’s art scene (in particular that of Noe Valley) together with his wife, the prominent modernist sculptor Ruth Asawa. The owner’s request was to increase the volume of the house while maintaining its original DNA as defined by angular geometries, redwood interiors and exterior courtyards. With the addition of a new guest room suite, a home office, a wet bar, and a media room, the studio was able to increase the house’s size from 210 square meters to 299 square meters. The house façades and cascading courtyards were reclad in irregular western red cedar planks to create a unique visual look able to embrace the whole structure. Studio Terpeluk surgically modified the house in an architecturally non-aggressive manner: living spaces were opened up to maximize views and the dialogue between indoor and outdoor.
