In San Francisco’s Inner Richmond neighborhood, California Street and Cornwall Street slide together at an acute angle, creating a narrow, rhomboid-shaped parcel. To make the most of the difficult site, we configured six two-story townhomes with angled geometries and interlocking sections that give each dwelling a patio and exposure on at least two sides. Each home is expressed as a sculptural box of wood, stucco, and glass suspended above quiet landscaped courts.
