INTRODUCTION

The panorama of light and color provides a continuous play against cityscape and water from dawn to dusk. The spectacular eastern view encompasses the bay and major San Francisco landmarks by day, including Coit Tower, the Bay Bridge, Transamerica Pyramid and dazzling Financial District lights at night. The imaginative reconfiguration of two 2-level condominiums into a divine single family townhouse was a collaboration by the owners and their team of Edgar McEachron Architects, JMK Construction, and Kendall Wilkinson Design. The meticulous design and execution is evident in the highest quality workmanship and materials throughout the residence. It was featured in California Homes, Winter 2000-01.
