INTERSTICE hosted this esteemed group of renowned Dutch architects at MISSION:house this September. Since 2010, Dutch Architect and Designer Edwin Oostmeijer has organized and led the Amsterdam-based Summit Tour, which highlights key works of Northern California Modern Architecture.
For The Summit’s fourth annual study visit to view examples of “NorCalMod,” MISSION:house hosted the distinguished guests and demonstrated a contemporary vision of this classic, architectural theme. The celebrated, signature blending of architecture with local and regional geographic influences that characterizes the Modern Architecture of Northern California was a highlight for the visiting Dutch architects, designers and developers, who traveled to experience and learn about local variations of this motif. The tour features project-based housing interspersed with private homes. “The Summit,” named for an intriguing apartment building in the Russian Hill neighborhood, refers to “the peak” of architecture both metaphorically and literally.
