![]() David Gangloff, Project Architect for Baum | Thornley Architects LLP (All Design Phases) SAN FRANCISCO This loft project is situated in an evolving San Francisco neighborhood in which light industrial and service uses are giving way to, but still coexisting with, new residential complexes. The massing and articulation of this 30-unit building contribute to its distinctive street presence, and at the same time, gracefully complement the surrounding mix of evolving building types. Units are carefully designed to meet present-day marketing demands. A variety of unit types provide spacious living environments which have been priced at desirable market levels. The use of natural wood windows, trim, beams, and trellises recalls the richness of turn-of-the-century timber warehouses, appealing to the “next generation” of loft-dwellers with its warmth and comfort. Setback balconies and terraces break down the scale of the building and highlight the dramatic canopied apartment entrance. At the street, retail exposure is maximized to enhance the pedestrian character of the adjacent sidewalk. A penthouse level offers private master bedrooms, featuring curved vaulted ceilings and adjacent sunny terraces overlooking the San Francisco skyline.
