About the project

Custom new construction in San Francisco, completed 2019 with MAK Studio.

A single confident object. Stucco, cedar, steel, glass. Custom new construction in San Francisco, completed 2019 with MAK Studio.

The composition is a stucco volume punctuated by cedar planks, steel detailing, and floor-to-ceiling glass that pulls the city light deep into the plan. The cedar was specified for long-term weathering rather than short-term photography.

Engineered for the site rather than the spec book. Site-specific structural engineering and shoring were scoped at schematic, alongside the envelope detailing required to make a contemporary house behave correctly in San Francisco's seismic and weather conditions.

PROJECT FAQs

What was the scope of work?

GamaBuilt held the construction contract and was responsible for structural, envelope, custom millwork, and finish coordination across the project from schematic design through final punch-list.

Who designed the project?

The architect of record is listed in the project meta above. GamaBuilt operated as the construction partner under a single accountability line, sitting in design meetings from earliest schematics.

How was the design-build process run?

Every engagement runs under a single contract. One project manager carries structural, mechanical, millwork, and finish from schematic through punch-list. The homeowner does not become the integrator.
