We designed this Cow Hollow penthouse with the purpose of “seeing rather than being seen.” As part of a larger remodel project, we designed a new, modern penthouse that sits discreetly above an existing 1930s Mediterranean-inspired structure.

我们设计的这个牛空心顶棚的目的是“看到而不是被看到”。作为一个更大的改造项目的一部分，我们设计了一个新的现代顶层，它位于20世纪30年代已有的地中海灵感结构之上。

We tucked the new penthouse out of site from pedestrians at street level. As part of the Cow Hollow Historic district, there are stringent requirements limiting the height and massing of upper story additions. To comply with both the letter and the spirit of these requirements, the existing roof line hides a front deck. This deck has gorgeous views of the Palace of Fine Arts and San Francisco Bay. The roof itself creates the railing along the street edge. Glass partitions screen out the wind while allowing unimpeded views.

我们把这套新的顶层公寓从街道上的行人那里塞了出来。作为牛空心历史街区的一部分，有严格的要求来限制高层建筑的高度和聚集。为了符合这些要求的文字和精神，现有的屋顶线隐藏了一个前甲板。这层甲板上有美丽的风景，可欣赏到艺术宫和旧金山湾。屋顶本身创造了沿街道边缘的栏杆。玻璃隔板屏蔽风，同时允许畅通无阻的景色。

We kept the penthouse roof design flat to fit beneath the required height limits. Working with these constraints led to the project’s most striking feature: the retractable roof/skylight. When combined with the folding door systems, the roof, and front and rear walls all open up to a grand view and sky. When all these elements are open, the indoor-outdoor effect is dramatic and spacious. The front and rear penthouse walls open onto decks.

我们保持阁楼屋顶设计平直，以适应在规定的高度限制。与这些限制一起工作导致了该项目最引人注目的特点：可伸缩的屋顶/天窗。当与折叠门系统相结合时，屋顶、前后墙都向壮观的视野和天空敞开。当所有这些元素都是开放的，室内外的效果是戏剧性的和宽敞的。前面和后面的顶楼墙壁一直延伸到甲板上。

The front deck is designed as an intimately sized outdoor dining room. Conveniently, it provides easy access to a wet bar located at the top of the stairs. Our client wanted to entertain a dinner party in this space, and so we planned around a large dining table to seat 10-12 people. Additionally, a built in bench and outdoor lighting enhance the character of the space.

前甲板设计为一个密切大小的室外餐厅。方便，它可以方便地进入位于楼梯顶部的湿酒吧。我们的客户想在这个地方举行晚宴，所以我们计划在一张大餐桌上坐10-12人。此外，内置的长凳和室外照明增强了空间的特点。

The rear deck is larger and has spaces for grilling, for sitting by the fire, and for entertaining a large group. Raised planting beds were added for rooftop gardening.

后甲板更大，并且具有烧烤空间，用于坐在火炉旁，并且用于娱乐大的组。屋顶的园艺增加了种植床。

In addition, we modified the front facade of the building to accommodate a modern garage door. We redesigned the entry stairs to be seen from the street.

此外，我们还对大楼的正面进行了改造，以容纳一扇现代化的车库门。我们重新设计了从街上看到的入口楼梯。
