20th Street Residence by SF-OSL

Among the rows of identical houses that line the ups and downs of San Francisco streets, there is one that is not quite like the others. 20^th Street Residence’s black front façade is only the first of many surprises, which include a vertical extension to the house’s original two stories, a catwalk bridge that extends from the backyard, the motley assortment of materials in the house’s interior design. Design firm SF-OSL introduces multiple layers of light in the residence, whether through skylights, hanging pendant lights, large panels of glazing, or even the perforations in a window screen. The uppermost floor of the house opens onto a balcony that offers a lovely view of the urban streets below.
