Noe Valley Residence

Architectural Digest: “The home is a contemporary three level residence perched on top of one of San Francisco’s prominent hills in Noe Valley, with large picture windows on both the east and west facades,” says Homan, who describes one of the views overlooking the backyard—enclosed by towering bamboo plants—reminiscent of the Damyang Bamboo Forest in South Korea. “When thinking about this, it was very symbolic of our client herself. She had grown up in South Korea where her roots and legacy come from and now as a 30-year-old she is forging her own chosen path and building in Northern California. We thought a lot about that when designing the space. What were notes from her past she wanted to bring into this home and what lifestyle choices was she making for her future?”
