Designed by Beverly Willis and completed in 1974, this home is one of Willis’s rare forays into the modern residential idiom — a flat-roofed, planar composition that stands apart from its more traditional neighbors yet engages them with remarkable civility.<br /> <br /> The exterior speaks in subtle yet assured architectural vocabulary: white stucco walls punctuated by dark-framed windows and a panel of rough-cut travertine marble, all organized without fuss but with immense clarity. The intersection of volumes — some shallow and horizontal, others taller and more vertical — creates a measured tension that feels neither austere nor decorative. Landscaped planting around the base tempers the geometry and helps integrate the house into the fabric of Pacific Heights.<br /> <br /> What makes the Koret Residence especially compelling to local architecture enthusiasts is how it negotiates context. Rather than dominating the streetscape, it refines it, acknowledging neighboring forms while asserting its own voice. The result is a house that feels of San Francisco — shaped by light, layered in meaning, and grounded in place — yet also quietly ambitious in its modernist restraint. Its presence continues to spark interest among photographers, historians, and residents who seek the city’s lived expressions of thoughtful design.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/thomashawk/">Thomas Hawk</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/thomashawk/55049724622/" title="End of an Era"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55049724622_782d9aa433_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="End of an Era" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/o_caritas/">O Caritas</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/o_caritas/55050227566/" title="(13:365)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55050227566_777b91fd69_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="(13:365)" /></a></p> <p>Emergency Self</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/o_caritas/">O Caritas</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/o_caritas/55050466798/" title="(16:365)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55050466798_42b5f675ed_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="(16:365)" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/o_caritas/">O Caritas</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/o_caritas/55050508814/" title="(14:365)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55050508814_01bdaca73a_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="(14:365)" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/204105664@N02/">livingstonreed92</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/204105664@N02/55050382609/" title=" "><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55050382609_a45a914990_m.jpg" width="240" height="159" alt=" " /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/thomashawk/">Thomas Hawk</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/thomashawk/55050117176/" title="Come Hell or Highwater"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55050117176_6dc1ddb6e5_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Come Hell or Highwater" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/204105664@N02/">livingstonreed92</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/204105664@N02/55050117216/" title=" "><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55050117216_9d71391738_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt=" " /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/taigatrommelchen/">taigatrommelchen</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/taigatrommelchen/55050399495/" title="202601098 San Francisco, CA Chinatown"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55050399495_eb3195c002_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="202601098 San Francisco, CA Chinatown" /></a></p> <p>View along Stockton Street through 'Chinatown' with a SFFD fire truck from above the northern portal of the 'Stockton Tunnel'<br /> <br /> Blick entlang der Stockton Street durch 'Chinatown' mit einem SFFD Fire Truck von oberhalb des nördlichen Portals des 'Stockton Tunnel'<br /> <br /> DSC01164</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/alberana/">alberana</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/alberana/55049027682/" title="The last sentinel standing"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55049027682_f7094c346c_m.jpg" width="240" height="156" alt="The last sentinel standing" /></a></p> <p>During the road trip along 17 Mile Drive, heading from San Francisco to Los Angeles via Highway 1, I captured this image of a solitary tree facing the misty Pacific. With Gemini's AI help, I turned it black and white and simulated a 90-second long exposure with fleeing clouds. Then I upscaled it with Topaz Gigapixel and finished it in Photoshop, Luminar Neo, and Nik Color, using Tony Kuyper's luminosity masks. The sentinel endures.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/thomashawk/">Thomas Hawk</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/thomashawk/55049620441/" title="Sweet Illusions"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55049620441_362b2da37f_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Sweet Illusions" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/thomashawk/">Thomas Hawk</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/thomashawk/55049635338/" title="Folsom Street Fair"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55049635338_c9234923ff_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Folsom Street Fair" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/19159227@N06/">Stan-the-Rocker</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/19159227@N06/55048246937/" title="SF Fisherman&#039;s Wharf - 011826 - 12 - Pier 39"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55048246937_86486fd662_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="SF Fisherman&#039;s Wharf - 011826 - 12 - Pier 39" /></a></p> <p></p>
