Designed by John Maniscalco Architecture, this 2600 square foot home in Noe Valley earns the title of Greenest House in San Francisco. 520 Clipper Street is not only a demonstration piece that raises the bar on green building, but will also be a home that people will want to live in.

These zones of light and change in materiality signal paths of movement, changes in scale, function, and orientation to views.
