Niche Interiors was enlisted to design the interior of this custom ground-up home with expansive views of the Bay. Our San Francisco interior designers worked closely with the architects at Lundberg Design to ensure that the furnishings blended seamlessly with the modern architecture and restrained material palette. Reclaimed American Oak end-grain floor tiles, blackened steel and cerused oak are the defining materials in the home. Dramatic floating stairs are set in front of a four-story glass and steel window wall flanking a lightwell with a glass catwalk floating above. Our team designed a custom walnut and lucite table in the dining room that appears to be floating, a reference to the architectural elements. Vintage mid-century dining chairs are paired with steel and glass LED pendants that lead your eye into the formal living room which enjoys expansive views of the San Francisco Bay.
A Christian Liaigre mohair sofa and Italian armchairs ground the living room seating area punctuated with monolithic carved walnut stools. A hand knotted wool rug with a subtle organic pattern adds variation and softness to the space. Understated sconces reference the blackened steel bookcases and maintain a modern, minimal design. The Niche Interiors team designed and engineered a cantilevered seat in the living room bay window that maintains the modern and airy feel of the home, taking advantage of the stunning views of San Francisco Bay. Carved basalt tile adds textural interest in the primary bathroom.
Our clients wanted to employ bold, saturated colors in the lower level which is used for casual entertaining and movie watching. The media room features a low slung modern sectional upholstered in a deep blue wool and a pair of vintage mid-century Milo Baughman armchairs reupholstered in a green velvet. All upholstered items were made with natural latex cushions wrapped in organic wool in order to eliminate harmful chemicals for our eco-conscious clients. Green accents carry through to the kitchen nook with Eames dining chairs and a Jean Prouvé dining table. Ethereal, handmade glass pendants float above the table. Andrea Cochran’s landscape design was the recipient of the 2016 Award in Residential Design from the Northern California chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
