I want to see it in 3D!

We now have some digital models of the current concept we are working on.  They are still a bit rough and some of the details, such as the entry sequence, will likely get slightly redone .  However, this is a good sneak peak as to what will come.

In this proposed concept, the downstairs apartment will be reconfigured into a studio/Jr. one bedroom apartment above the third garage on Roosevelt Way.  The top floor of the apartment on the Park Hill garage level will be reconfigured into two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a den for the main house.  The main house level above the double garage will include a kitchen, breakfast nook, family room, formal dining room, formal living room, bathroom and laundry room.  The third level will include a master suite and a roof deck.

The common connecting element between the main house level and third level will be a double height glass entry that is set back to form a entry light well.  The glass wall will continue on the third floor and will give way to the exit to the roof deck on the Roosevelt Way facade.

The below rendering shows the Park Hill facade of the initial concept design.  The two garage doors will be inset from the facing wall, a vertical window spanning the second and third floors will be added on the left side of the facade.  The dark colored panels will be wood while the remaining portions will likely be exterior plaster.



As shown below, the wall on the Roosevelt Way face of the main level will be punched out to form a massive window to take advantage of the city and bay views.  The window will span the formal living room and formal dining room.



The master suite on the third level will be slightly set back from the main periphery of the house to provide a small private wrap-around terrace that will be separated from the public roof deck by the glass entry alcove (see below).
