GREAT HIGHWAY SURFHOUSE

01
Context

Facing the ocean, this typical sunset house in San Francisco is home to a young family, passionate about art and surf. With views of the waves on one side, and of Twin Peaks on the other side, the house also has a beautiful backyard, and the three stories are oriented towards an indoor-outdoor way of life.
