Inspired by San Francisco’s fine-grain urbanism and prewar apartment buildings, 1020 Pine consists of eight modern dwellings on a small parcel on the south slope of Nob Hill. Placed above a double-height lobby, the dwellings provide access to daylight and views via bay windows of clear and silk-screened glass. Penthouses at the top of the building offer double-height spaces, mezzanines, and roof decks with views across downtown.
