Clockwise from this page: For a San
Francisco home, CCS Architecture
formed a foyer gallery, with a pivoting
red front door, in which a framed cast
plaster panel, “Still Life With Fruit”
by Matthew Palladino, hangs above a
bench that contains slippers for guests;
the charred cedar exterior is complemented with a tall entry porch lined
with back-painted red glass; a bleached
Douglas fir wood staircase, with side
walls perforated for display niches, goes
from the foyer to the third floor, interrupted only by a second-floor landing.
