Drawing from San Francisco’s undulating topography and the unique visual impression of geometric boxes strung along sweeping vistas, 603 Tennessee’s distinct order of folded window bays expresses a cadence and energy derived from the city itself. The aesthetic principles and functional attributes of the project are emblematic of Natoma Architect’s primary foci - establishing the contemporary aesthetic of San Francisco’s urban fabric, meanwhile attending to the spatial demands and construction efficiencies for more economical housing.
This project is a mixed-use residential building, containing 24 dwelling units, a ground floor PDR, art gallery, and working spaces. The plan order is a derivative of the shot-gun style row housing type, aggregated to create the building mass. Each unit has its own full-height bay window, angled to maximize floor area, views, and privacy between units. Currently under construction. Construction photos courtesy of Natoma Architects.
