From the architect:
Located in the Noe Valley Neighborhood of San Francisco with commanding views of the surrounding neighborhood, the Cube House was designed to complement modern family living and lifestyle.
Organized in a geometric-like composition, the new, 3-story home has a facade of cement-board panels with concealed attachments providing a modern, yet non-disruptive contrast with the surrounding urban context.
Within the interior, a centralized, architectural stair serves as the connective tissue between the different levels and acts as an anchor around which the programmatic functions of the home are arranged. Loft-like living spaces with abundant access to natural light are placed on the upper floor to capture dramatic views and provide maximum privacy for the occupants inside.
Sustainable building strategies are deployed throughout the home in an effort to reduce energy consumption and non-renewable resources.
Edmonds + Lee Architects is an award winning, multi-disciplinary design firm that focuses on creating high-end residential architecture. Informed by the impulses of the 20th century, our vision values restraint. Whether we’re designing single or multi-family homes, we see architecture through a lens where light, space organization, and atmosphere are in consistent and complimentary focus.
We view our projects as a background for the life that goes on within them. We believe individualized buildings should be distinct and intimately connected to their context and purpose. We are interested in the modernist notion of contrast: how to fit in, yet remain strikingly different.
Our approach is shaped by how we believe architecture and design should be experienced. We stress simplicity and moderation, emphasizing the authenticity of materials. We take sustainability seriously, working with environmentally-friendly materials that enhance energy efficiency, and resource management. We are driven to re-interpret typologies, and work to establish balance with a building’s surroundings.
Each project is an amalgam of client and site individuality. At Edmonds + Lee Architects, we offer our international clientele personalized collaboration and distinct solutions. Our services are holistic, tailored, and include full-service architecture and interior design.
