House on the Bay, Andrea Ponsi

Designed by Italian architect Andrea Ponsi, with Jensen Architects as architect of record, this home is situated on the shore of San Francisco Bay in Tiburon. House on the Bay is comprised of four distinct programmatic wings that form the edges of a central open-air courtyard and art gallery. The house incorporates subtle changes in floor elevation to create a descending terracing effect as one approaches the beach. Photo by Andrea Ponsi.
