Instagram post 2241638946707058529_4430677367 DeWitt sensed that only a master architect could have designed the single-story 4,100-square-foot peak-roofed house. How else to explain its flawless siting and soaring light-filled interiors? Not to mention its individualistic blackened brass hood above a baronial fireplace. Even its carport in the west-facing entrance court had an uncommon elegance. For more photos and the full story, click the link in our bio.

Instagram post 2241637802190418852_4430677367 Table by Marcel Wanders for Roche Bobois is made from solid wood or from fiberglass and lacquered polyester resin in various finishes. Available in acacia wood and oak wood (as shown) at Roche Bobois.
Instagram post 2238140438657895426_4430677367 Wood tones and neutral hues populate the inside, but it’s notable that no trees were removed to accommodate Winged Retreat. “I love that dialogue between a mature, natural phenomenon and a new, modern home,” Aidlin says. Surveying the setting, he likens the oaks on the grounds to sculptures; for him, this project exemplifies “how architecture and landscape can complement each other and become a beautiful nesting environment for humans.” The powder room walls are covered in an automotive paint in a deep-orange hue with a bit of speckle to it.

Instagram post 2238131464365851768_4430677367 Daniel Piechota’s first commercial buildings designed under the banner of his new San Francisco architecture firm — wine production buildings and a matching satellite structure with tasting room and banquet spaces, for Silver Oak winery in the Alexander Valley — are essentially country barns. Built last year in the middle of vineyards near Healdsburg, they stand out like a child’s drawing of an archetypal house against the vines.

Instagram post 2235855459215420620_4430677367 Blue-and-white-clad usherettes “schooled in the ways of feminine tact” no longer greet filmgoers at the Castro Theatre, as the San Francisco Chronicle reported they did in 1922. But few movie theaters retain the feel of their opening days as well as this Spanish-baroque beauty that helps define the neighborhood. Both facade and interior are largely intact, it’s still single-screen, it still shows movies every day, and almost all the detailing remains original, including tile work and a ceiling resembling “some richly ornamental and costly fabric,” in the Chronicle’s words.

Instagram post 2235852169907928768_4430677367 “There’s a sense of wanting to bring back the elemental, the wild,” says designer Kevin Hackett, whose firm Síol Studios recently joined forces with architect Ross Levy to transform a modest bungalow on a down-sloping lot in San Francisco’s Noe Valley into a light-filled three-story home that’s woven into its valley landscape. “I think we crave nature more than ever because we’re not connecting to it as much,” Hackett says. Hackett suspended Autoban’s Octopus chandelier above a black honed granite tub in the master bathroom, where cement tile, called Cigar Shop by Cle, provides a graphic aesthetic. A sculptural concrete sink by Concreteworks offsets the warm materiality of the walnut vanity. For more photos and the full story, click the link in our bio. 🖊: @lauramauk. 📸: @joefletcherphoto.

Instagram post 2232951313428512015_4430677367 The Sausalito design collective of Charles de Lisle creates bespoke fabricated furniture, innovative lighting, decorative arts, cutting-edge interiors and landscape projects often seen in design publications, including SPACES, New York Times T Magazine, The Wall Street Journal and more. The firm was noted on Architectural Digest’s top 100 list. The local creative maestro shares design notions in our “Space Makers” podcast. Link in bio. 📸: @ddent.
Instagram post 2230941048415477032_4430677367 San Francisco sculptor, photographer and printmaker Gay Outlaw’s “3X3, 2019” is part of a new series of recently unveiled soft ground fine art etchings, with aquatint, drypoint and spit-bite and soap-ground aquatints, done in limited editions of 20 for the venerable Crown Point Press. Outlaw’s partly ink-jet printed works were in a recent show she curated at the press called King Phillip Came Over From Germany Stoned. Her “3×3” depicts objects she previously photographed, then composed on a 33-by-30 3⁄4-inch orange gampi-paper chine-collé background.
