Horizon House

The horizon is the primal DATUM of all dwelling.  It is the reification of the elemental link between the internal mechanism of perception and external realm of physical reality.  It is what links us intimately to our surroundings.  Throughout history, surroundings change, technologies change, languages change, cultural and expressive imperatives change, but what architecture must respond to now is the changing nature of the primal conditions of the medium itself; that of perceptual and psychic references.

1070 Folsom Street

San Francisco, CA
Located in the SOMA district of San Francisco, on 6th Street and Folsom, we were approached to create a design that maximized the potential of the small site, 25’ x 80’, in order to replace the existing two-story. Per planning and zoning requirements, we designed a new multi-use six story structure that steps back from the street.
