Six residential and one commercial units are arranged as large interlocking blocks set at angles and wrapped in 400-lineal-foot façade of stucco, wood, metal and glass. 100+ large-scale windows bathe the units in sunlight and take advantage of views of classic San Francisco landmarks, the Presidio and Golden Gate Park. Units are accessed through landscaped yards which buffer the energy of the street; individual entries evoke the privacy of a single-family residence.
The most provocative new building in San Francisco is a fan-shaped set of six housing units that overlap each other and look as though they're about to fly apart….Neither words nor photographs capture the real-life energy of the sextet - formidable and friendly at once, a brash show that looks different from every angle…A corner that housed a smog check station is now a local landmark.
