Grand View House: A New 1941 Perspective

Ryan Leidner Architecture was invited to reimagine a house from 1941 making the expansive San Francisco views a priority.

The Grandview House’s footprint had to remain the same due to strict zoning laws which also meant they couldn’t add a deck.

With those limits in place, the top floor living room and kitchen area were designed to become an outdoor-like space with floor-to-ceiling glass doors that slide to either side making the room feel completely open. With the glass railing, the opening feels like you’re on an outdoor deck.

Downstairs was also reconfigured to now include a new master suite.
