Broadway
San Francisco, CA—2012
Situated in Pacific Heights, San Francisco, the Broadway project, completed in 2012, showcases a unique approach to designing a home around a distinctive requirement – an expansive art and sculpture collection. The clients, a couple with a passion for art and a discerning taste in architecture, sought to create a fusion of San Franciscan provincial and Asian style in their remodeled home, with spaces dedicated to displaying their cherished collection.
The Broadway project signifies the importance of understanding and incorporating client preferences and passions into architectural design. Mason Kirby, the architect behind this innovative project, designed the remodel around the couple’s art collection. Instead of considering the art as an afterthought or decorative element, it became a central piece of the design plan, with each room, gallery, and space woven around the artwork.
The result is a home where art and architecture intertwine seamlessly, offering unique display spaces for each piece of the treasured collection. This approach underlines the importance of considering personal collections and hobbies when designing a modern home. More than just a dwelling, a home can also be a personal museum, a gallery that houses and celebrates the owner’s passions and pursuits.
