A Discreet 1928 Facade Reveals a Singular Modernist Residence | At first glance, 228 Connecticut Street reads as a classic San Francisco 1920's Marina style home, quietly situated along one of Potrero Hill's sunlit streets. Step inside, however, and the home reveals itself as something entirely different a one of a kind, bold modernist residence on four levels defined by light, geometry, and spatial harmony. Originally built in 1928, the residence was completely reimagined and reconstructed in 2005 by acclaimed modernist architect Sandra Vivanco. Conceived as an oasis in the heart of the city, the home offers a rare balance between urban energy and interior calm with panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline from the front and rear roof decks. From the moment you enter, the architecture reveals its intention. Sightlines extend upward through the height of the home to the top level, while the primary axis carries forward toward the kitchen and garden beyond. The result is an immediate sense of openness rarely found within San Francisco's traditional narrow urban footprint. The functional design underpinning the architecture was carefully considered to take advantage of the passive heating and cooling available in Potrero Hill's unique micro-climate. The result is a home that is maximized for physical comfort and livability year round.
