Mid Century Panorama

180 Palo Alto Avenue 旧金山, 加利福尼亚州 94114 美国

Extensively renovated in 2022, 180 Palo Alto is perched atop Twin Peaks and captures sweeping views of San Francisco's skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Bay. Designed in 1958 by Campbell & Wong Associates, 180 Palo Alto stands as an enduring example of Northern California mid-century modernism. The firm, celebrated for sculptural forms and an exceptional command of light, was integral to the Case Study House movement (CSH #27) that shaped American modern architecture from the 1940s to the 1960s. Their vision here is expressed in pure form: a striking glass facade, fluid interior spaces, and an effortless connection between home, garden, and view. A discreet entry gate leads to a terraced garden, where the house reveals its defining geometry. Inside, walls of glass flood the interiors with light, while four sets of French doors dissolve boundaries between indoors and out. The kitchen and family room are anchored by a marble-topped island and top-tier appliances, extending to dining and living areas with a balcony spanning the length of the home. The primary suite commands the panorama with private deck access, joined by two additional bedrooms and an office/bedroom. The lower level adds a family room, additional bedroom, office, and full bath. 2 car garage.
