\u201cHome is where the heart is,\u201d or so the saying goes. That well-worn idiom dates back to at least the early 1800s, but this truly distinctive residence in San Francisco\u2014fondly referred to as the Gallery House\u2014may well revise the turn of phrase for a more modern, aesthetically oriented world: \u201cHome is where the art is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring the property in the city\u2019s picturesque South Park neighborhood, the current owners set about a roughly four-year process of creating\u2014along with Luke Ogrydziak and Zo\u00eb Prillinger of OPA Architects\u2014a one-of-a-kind three-level home where form and function came to fruition simultaneously. Recognized as a landmark by fellow San Franciscans and Pok\u00e9mon Go aficionados, it displays an eye-catching weblike fa\u00e7ade of Cor-Ten steel and floor-to-ceiling glass on the top two levels, both front and back. Beyond lies 5,580 square feet of airy, open contemporary living space designed to showcase art and pull natural light into nearly every corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The owners\u2019 art collection informed the design, with streamlined white walls and limited ornamentation creating an ideal neutral backdrop for its display. Industrial elements\u2014steel beams and corrugated metal ceilings\u2014are balanced by the organic softness of the neighborhood\u2019s leafy trees, views of which serve as dynamic de facto wall treatments. As the light changes with the hours and seasons, it creates new lines, shadows, and perspectives, making the components of stylish modern living all the more compelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor, an inviting space with a kitchenette and a powder bath was conceived as a gallery, photography studio, and versatile entertaining space. Above is a living room with a wine cellar and nearly an entire wall lined with bookshelves; it flows effortlessly into a sleek kitchen that combines minimalist hues of black, white, and stainless-steel and a dining area giving way to a sun-washed terrace with a grilling area and raised landscaped beds. An office or family room accompanies the skylit bedrooms and baths on the uppermost level. A convenient elevator links all of the floors as well as the enviable rooftop garden and deck\u2014a flourishing private aerie hovering amid the treetops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just across the street is the tree-strewn greenery and breezy shade of historic South Park, a hidden gem dating to the 1850s. Proximity to this emerald oasis\u2014as well as restaurants, galleries, shops, technology and venture capital firms, and cultural destinations\u2014makes this residence one of the city\u2019s most coveted addresses and a work of art in its own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
