About Escape Pad
San Francisco, the city of rolling hills and eclectic architecture, welcomes a new contemporary retreat: Escape Pad. Designed in 2017 by the innovative Knock Architecture and Design, this weekend house merges modern design with the serene San Francisco environment.
A Contemporary Refuge
Escape Pad nestles in its lush setting, offering an exterior that blurs the line between nature and structure. The outdoor shower, enveloped by rich wood and verdant foliage, hints at the seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Manicured lawns segue into cozy outdoor seating areas, offering both privacy and openness beneath the Californian sky. The rooftop pool is a masterpiece, presenting panoramic views of San Francisco’s skyline, marrying the tranquility of water with the city’s vibrant beat.
Sophisticated Interiors
Stepping inside, the open-plan living room champions minimalism with its polished concrete floors and an expansive window that frames nature as art. The custom wooden cabinetry in the kitchen and living areas brings warmth to the house’s heart. Pops of greenery indoors remind one of the surrounding landscape. The use of natural light and raw materials continues upstairs, where the stairwell combines glass, wood, and metal in a dance of contemporary elegance.
The master bathroom, draped in marble, offers a sanctuary of its own. Its design simplicity creates a sense of calm and luxury. Each bedroom, too, balances privacy with connection to the outdoors, ensuring a restful haven. Finally, the entertainment zone with its bespoke bar area reflects a blend of sophistication and leisure, perfect for weekend relaxation.
Escape Pad stands as a testament to contemporary design and Knock Architecture and Design’s vision for modern, relaxed living. Every corner of this San Francisco gem speaks of an escape not just from the city’s bustle but into a weekend of architectural marvel.
