Austin Klar tours a $15.9 million San Francisco home designed by Aidlin Darling, built around four-story concrete walls and a 20-foot sunken living room. The 4,185 sq ft house frames Golden Gate Bridge views and features a glass-suspended study accessed by catwalk, rooftop deck, and 12-foot cantilevered doors.
I've seen literally thousands of homes in San Francisco, and I've never seen anything that compares to this place in Cow Hollow. This is truly a one-of-one home designed and built in 2016 by renowned architecture firm Aidlin Darling. It's anchored by 4-story tall concrete walls with cedar louvers in between to create privacy and balance the amount of natural light filling the space from its south-facing exposure. And every detail is so perfectly thought out to maximize iconic north-facing views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco Bay while maintaining a serene indoor-outdoor living experience, like the sunken living room so that people— in the nearby kitchen and dining space have clear lines of sight to the outdoors and views. A translucent 13-foot glass light fixture anchors the living room with 20-foot ceilings. A catwalk upstairs leads to a glass-suspended study with Golden Gate views and an expansive rooftop deck perfect for Fleet Week or the warmer fall days we get in the city. 12-foot cantilevered doors provide incredible indoor-outdoor flow to a view deck. And the home comes with every bell and whistle you might want, including a gigantic movie theater, an outdoor shower, a jacuzzi, a heated cabana with wet bar and cold storage. It is truly made for entertaining. The 4-bed, 4.5-bath, 4,185-square-foot home recently hit the market for $15.9 million.
