Description
Davidson was asked to design a family home for Richard Bransten, son of a wealthy coffee manufacturer from San Francisco. The window design reflects De-Stijl sensibilities, focusing on large geometric shapes. The three story residence was built on a slope to provide abundant opportunities for sunshine, outside terracing, and views of the city. The multiple levels also provided more locations for social and family interaction.
