Flip House by Fougeron Architecture

fliphouse_01

Fougeron Architecture has remodelled a San Francisco home and designed a rear facade of faceted glass, allowing views across the city. The interior spaces of the existing house were ‘flipped’ to allow the living and dining spaces to make the most of the west-facing views, while the bedrooms were placed at the back of the house. The glass wall is divided into three vertical panels that push in and out, bringing in light, and opening the house up to the exterior landscape. Floor to ceiling heights were also increased, as well as the introduction of vertical voids to connect different rooms on different floors.
