Involving the extensive remodel of a modest 1960’s speculative home, this project transforms the main living level from a series of partitioned spaces into a grand, open-plan great room with expansive views toward the San Francisco Bay. Additionally, the client required a new 1,200sf music studio to provide practice and rehearsal space for his band.
The priorities involved creating a contemporary open-plan interior, and maximizing natural light and bay views. This was achieved by restructuring the roof system with a 42′ long steel ridge beam to minimize interior supports, which subsequently permitted an expansive interior. A majority of the previously solid west wall was transformed to glazing using long span headers and rigid shear wall panels.
