Let\u2019s take a look inside?<\/p>\n

\"San<\/p>\n

This is the first residence of a 30-something entrepreneur, who bought what was a developer-built spec house in 2012. Over the course of two and a half years, his close friend and design advisor, Akemi Tamaribuchi, had collaborated with the architect Cass Calder Smith to transform the 4,000-square-foot abode into a completely customized hangout for social gatherings and work meetings alike.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe client was looking for a sense of simplicity and freshness, as well as fun and delight,\u201d<\/em> says Tamaribuchi.<\/p>\n

The resulting spaces, luminous and gallerylike, are punctuated by exuberant bursts of color, strong expressions of materiality, and inspiring views of\u2014and access to\u2014the outdoors.<\/p>\n

\"San \"San \"San<\/p>\n

The house, just a few years old, had been built in a style that Smith, who splits his time between CCS Architecture<\/a>\u2019s San Francisco and New York offices, refers to as \u201ccontractor modern\u201d<\/em>: streamlined but not finely detailed, with standard-issue baseboards, casings, doors, and hardware.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe site and the views were beautiful, but the house wasn\u2019t on par with them,\u201d<\/em> he says.<\/p>\n

To tie together the four floors and infuse the interior with vertical energy, he opened up the stairwell and designed a floating stair. From the second floor up, the zigzag profile, visible through a glass balustrade, has the impact of an art installation.<\/p>\n

Says Smith, \u201cWe thought about all the time that people spend going up and down the stairs\u201d<\/em>\u2014the living area and kitchen are on the top floor, with the best views\u2014\u201cand what we could do to make that experience more interesting.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The design team also went about refining the spaces to create a calm and seamless background. The glass doors and many of the solid ones go right up to the ceiling; the baseboards and outlets are flush with the walls; there are no casings on the doors or windows. As a counterpoint to the white sheetrock, wide-plank reclaimed Douglas fir was selected for flooring. The white-stained wood, replete with rustic knots and imperfections, was one of the trickiest parts of the project to get right, according to Tamaribuchi.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must have looked at more than 100 samples,\u201d<\/em> she says. \u201cThe client wanted a sense of lightness, but everything that was light looked fake\u2014you couldn\u2019t see the character of the wood\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOn an art-buying trip to London, we saw this flooring in the Saatchi Gallery and immediately knew that was it.\u201d The warm material also clads the wall from which the staircase cantilevers.<\/p>\n

Tamaribuchi took the lead on furniture and artwork selection. (Her seven-person company, Subject to Change, provides a holistic range of lifestyle services, including interior design, personal styling, party planning, and concierge.)<\/p>\n

For this particular client, who \u201cwears a hoodie and flip-flops one day and a wild and crazy Dolce & Gabbana suit the next,\u201d<\/em> as she describes, the appropriate decor turned out to be bold yet casual. \"San<\/p>\n

For a home in San Francisco, it made sense to pay a similar level of attention to elevating the outdoor spaces. Local landscape design firm Sculpt Gardens<\/a> tamed the backyard\u2019s wild hillside with a series of board-formed concrete retaining walls. The resulting terraces each have their own attraction: an outdoor kitchen and fire pit, a hot tub, a sunning area with chaise lounges.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a contemplative place, where everything slows down,\u201d<\/em> says Smith. The curved walls are treated with whiteboard paint, allowing for spontaneous doodling, leaving a friendly message\u2014or jotting down ideas for a new business.<\/p>\n
