San Francisco's new Gallery House (black rooftop) has been designed by Ogrydziak / Prillinger architects.

艺术与建筑的交融是住宅项目的一个经常被引用的目标。一个包住楼梯的厚厚的钢制盒子升到了私人宿舍。在多面的屏幕后面，大玻璃板可以滑到一边，打开房子到公园。室内空间是画廊质量纯净和功能主义的混合体，与大量的开放式空间交织在一起。服务被隐藏在独立的核心中，允许长的远景运行在深度的位置。

Set on the fringes of San Francisco's South Park, the house occupies an infill site, with a generous living space set behind an extravagant façade.

The design methodology behind the Gallery House, was to carve up the available space into a series of solids and voids.

The residence was designed for two art collectors as a place to live and display a major collection of contemporary female artists.

Faceted plinths act as seats in the art-strewn roof garden.

Large panes of glass can be slid to one side, opening up the house to the park.

A bold steel box enclosing the staircase rises up to the private quarters.

The interior spaces are a mix of gallery-quality purity and functionalism, interspersed with large volumes of open plan space.

The Gallery house is a place of contemplation, despite the inherent toughness of materials and forms.

Exposed steel beams and floor plates are paired with steel staircases and industrial mesh balustrades

Artworks animate the space, including pieces by Louise Bourgeois, Tracey Emin, Candida Hofer, Rebecca Horn and Rachel Whiteread.

Bespoke elements can be found scattered throughout the scheme, such as the organically eroded void of the basin in the master bathroom.
