"The Circle Wall"

From the front, living area

from the back, kitchen area

"The circle wall" is the only inarticulate name for this. I think this feature is going to give the first floor a lot of distinction. From the beginning, Jeff has been 100% behind the idea. He says he's always up for one or two challenges a house.

Lisa found her inspiration for the idea in a Dwell Magazine feature about a San Francisco family that converted an old Chinese restaurant into their home. These gigantic circle openings are found in ancient Chinese architecture, but we think nothing is more contemporary that a circle inside a square.

  2. I like the circle wall. Interesting to have both your inspiration and builder with roots in San Francisco. [Although I could do without the "perched on a truss" picture]. Thank for the blog so I can follow from afar.
