Inspired by the innovation business incubators common to the South of Market (SOMA) District, the space is designed to accommodate functions ranging from primary residence and personal office to primary media and guest accommodations, all with an eye to business, technical, and service functions. The design completely renovates and updates the entire building, including landscaped courtyards with lighting, seating, and interconnected interior circulation. A rooftop garden complements sleek, modern amenities, providing a lush, park-like common space and an outdoor kitchen as an ideal gathering space.

The roof garden is a shared open green space over the roof of the entire building. It is to be perceived as a park-like setting with lush, mature plantings and sinuous landforms in which skylights from the units below appear as lit night elements punctuating the landscape. The edge of the park is a dropped infinity edge, allowing it to blend with the surrounding cityscape yet simultaneously providing a privacy screen within its midst for programmatic elements of varying degrees of intimacy. The units all have access stairs to the rooftop park under a unifying sheltering trellis form that acts as an extension of the façade louvered system.
