Created for a stylish bachelor, this 48th-floor apartment has enviable views that stretch clear to the San Francisco bay. Shades of soft grey, pale umber, and off-white create a seamless transition from the heart of the home to the tones of the buildings and water beyond.
The resident wanted a fireplace for romance and ambiance - no small feat in a San Francisco highrise. Clad in dramatic bamboo marble, the hearth anchors the living- and dining space, and creates an atmosphere of warmth and subtle luxury.
As the kitchen is open to the living area, it had to be both sophisticated and sleek. A custom mirrored mosaic back splash adds sparkle and depth, while the iconic Gear pendant over the custom-cast glass bar creates a sense of place while integrating the kitchen with the adjacent room.
Finishes of fumed Eucalyptus, hand-painted wall textures, and custom-designed furniture and area rugs support the sense of richness, comfort, and quiet beauty.
