The Penthouse Lounge & Bar
San Francisco Decorator's Showcase, 2025
In 2025, I co-designed and executed this highly acclaimed, narrative-driven rooftop pool house and lounge for the San Francisco Decorators Showcase. Our four-person team transformed a unique rooftop footprint—adjacent to the property’s gardens and jacuzzi—into an analog sanctuary. The design seamlessly blends the rich, nostalgic narrative of 1970s southwest culture with ultra-luxurious, contemporary modernism. The result was a standout, high-concept space that was a crowd favorite.

Co-managed the integration of high-end, contrasting materials, including a bespoke bar crafted entirely of architectural glass bricks capped with a custom copper top, and statement amorphous solid chrome coffee table
Curation and Vibe:
Contributed to the layout and curation of the main lounge, anchored by a massive, custom-upholstered circular sofa in vibrant blue alpaca and a dedicated audiophile listening station featuring vintage mid-century speakers.
Powder Room:
Co-directed the design and implementation of the powder room, coordinating artisans for the hand-painted plaster walls and a fully tiled terrazzo sink, and customized fringed sconces.
Custom Furniture Development & Vintage Sourcing:
Collaborated on the technical drafting and detail development for several bespoke furniture pieces while strategically sourcing vintage elements to anchor the room’s 1970s aesthetic.
