The Brown Studio

This project aims to be the first residence in San Francisco that is completely self-powering and carbon neutral. The architecture has been developed in conjunction with the mechanical systems and landscape design, each influencing the other to arrive at an integrated solution. Working from the historic façade, the design preserves the traditional formal parlors transitioning to an open plan at the central stairwell which defines the distinction between eras. The new floor plates act as passive solar collectors and radiant tubing redistributes collected warmth to the original, North facing portions of the house. Careful consideration has been given to the envelope design in order to reduce the overall space conditioning needs, retrofitting the old and maximizing insulation in the new.

EDGY ELEMENTS: Contrasting colours, sumptuous textures and clean lined furniture were used to create visual excitement. Key furniture pieces in this bathroom include a custom vanity and window seat. The vanity has both visual appeal and functionality. The vanity has a white Caesar stone top and glass handles. The back wall was fully clad with marble.
