Gast Architects

Gast Architects studio is located on the top floor of an historic warehouse in the South of Market neighborhood. The building was renovated to LEED Gold standards, and the interior was designed with a focus on sustainability.

This 1913 Italian Revival was in need of substantial changes to meet the needs of a young family. The kitchen was completely reconfigured to include an eating area and uninterrupted views of the Bay.

This 17 acre parcel was developed as a primary residence and gathering place for the owners' family and friends . The design integrates easy flow to the pool, and gardens, capitalizing on views over the vineyards to the surrounding wooded hills. Sustainable features include photovoltaic panels, solar hot water and pool heating, radiant heating, and trellises and roof overhangs for sun control.

This 1960’s Twin Peaks residence was renovated to create an updated presence on the street. A bathroom was added to the basement office/media room as part of its integration into the home.

A grand 1899 home on a commanding corner site in Pacific Heights had been divided into several units, with many of its remarkable features compromised or hidden. A complete renovation of the home reconfigured space for contemporary living and captured the panoramic bay views, while respecting the historic bones of the building.

As part of a substantial renovation of this Seacliff home, a combined sitting and dining area was created and connected to an updated kitchen and opened to a new rear deck and garden.

A hidden staircase behind a secret door leads to a study of the master bedroom in this transformed 1909 shingle style home.
