Modernize Apartment in Gough Street From Group 41 Architects

Posted by admin on July 5, 2010 Apartments Design

This Gough Street Modernize Apartment Design an example of reuse, the third-floor apartment on San Francisco’s Gough Street is remodeled from its mid-century construction. This sadly disused apartment unit had never been improved since it was built in the 1950’s. Group 41’s charge was to modernize the space, while making it more flexible. A very difficult and unworkably small kitchen and dining spaces resulted in the invention by Group 41 of a mobile table/counter surface that is topped with granite to match the kitchen counters. Mounted on an industrial dolly base with an hydraulic lift, it can be rolled, and raised or lowered to provide flexible dining space or kitchen counters.

An awkward dining area has been converted to a second bedroom/study space with sliding glass panels to separate it when some additional privacy is needed. It serves both as bar area/counter space for the kitchen as well as formal dining table or poker venue when needed. Other features include glass panel backsplashes in the kitchen, and black basalt tile in the bathroom.
