Designed by Spiegel Aihara Workshop (SAW), the 4,800-square-foot Wraparound House in San Francisco’s Marina District adapts and expands on a preexisting domicile dating to the 1930s. But it takes its name from its neo-moderne styling, which recalls the idiom prevalent at the time of the earlier home’s construction.
Inside, SAW incorporated curves in plan and elevation that were extrapolated from the original arched doorways. This gave the clean, contemporary drywall finishes a sculptural presence, especially apparent in the skylit central stairwell, whose complex geometry creates a constantly shifting gradient of light and shadow.
