Modern Apartment Market Street Penthouse by Joel Sanders Architect
Joel Sanders Architect have design modern apartment of Market Street Penthouse located in San Francisco. The contemporary interior design features walls painted white, grey and appropriately sky blue, so that the spacious penthouse aesthetically blends in with the sky surrounding during the daytime. Within the penthouse layout on the main floor is an inner band space, which includes the kitchen and dining area. The inner band is noticeably darker, with earthy tones of walnut used for the kitchen’s cabinetry and fixtures.
The challenge posed by the design of this duplex penthouse was how to take advantage of the best asset of this corner unit – its dramatic diagonal downtown views that were compromised by discontinuous groupings of conventional double hung windows. Our design strategy visually unifies these random punched openings within a “sky zone,” a recessed linear slot that dynamically wraps the perimeter of the apartment. Painted grey/blue, it visually blends with the actual skyline. The duplex is programmatically sub-divided into two living strips that run parallel to this window wall. A darker inner band, lined with natural materials – walnut paneling and banquettes upholstered in deep blue mohair – defines the entry, stairwell and second floor pool/guest room. A bright outer zone, lit by windows, defines the double height corner living/media room and kitchen/dining area on the first floor and the master bedroom suite above. It’s contrasting neutral palette of white and grey synthetic materials – concrete, fritted-glass, and stainless and powdercoated steel – focuses attention on the “sky zone” that frames city views. Interior apertures frame views between these contrasting areas.
