Four Seasons Residence
A wealthy couple in their mid-twenties just purchased a corner apartment in the Four Seasons Residencies on Market st, San Francisco. This will be a weekend place for them as they have a large house just 30 minutes away, so it will mostly be used for city entertaining. The couple is well traveled and well-versed in the design world and expect nothing short of spectacular.
I based my design on the concept of a jewel: luxurious, rare, shining, carved sharp angles. I also want the clients to be able to use the apartment for a variety of purposes and to have it feel equally comfortable with 50 people inside as it does with two.
Floor Plan
The floor plan is designed to keep the master suite as private as possible. It can be completely closed off from the rest of the flat while entertaining. Guests enter through a glass geodesic dome- immediately transporting them to another world.The great room is the main entertaining space, and the lounge is a secondary, quieter public space and screening room which doubles as a guest room.
Living Room
All the pieces of the sofa break apart and can be moved around the room to create the ideal setup for any party. The starry crystal lights in front of the windows mix with the sparkling city lights. The mix of illuminated shining columns and hidden lights in the jewel-shaped ceilings can be adjusted to create the perfect ambiance.
Empty Room
The Empty Room is inspired by the feeling of possibility that comes with moving into a new, empty house. It is whatever you want it to be, and comes equipped with the following amenities:
Two Pull-down wall beds with reading lights, clock and shelf
Six Pull-out “island” seats
A Pull-down desk and stool
TV slides out from wall
Storage for yoga mats, candles, etc
Lounge
The forest-like lounge is filled with Italian foam furniture so guests can play in an ant-sized reality. Movies project onto the ceiling and the over-sized grass becomes a perfect reclining seat. Embedded in the walls is an art piece called 2x4 in which pieces of wood are hollowed, carved, and lit from within creating atmospheric flames.
Bed Room
The master bed fills its own octagonal-shaped room. This elevation shows the walls that surround the bed. The center horizontal panels are upholstered with fiber optic fabric that changes color according to the owners' program. Some individual panels hinge back revealing a TV, shelves and storage areas.
