Spacious Contemporary-Minimal Office in San Francisco Feels Casual and Classy

ByMyProperty Life

We have always admired the way in which modern home office have evolved from the decades of the boring cubicles to spaces that feel fun-filled and stimulating. The trend has been truly revolutionary at times with smart offices now seeming more and more like contemporary homes with extended work areas. The Patreon Office designed by Gensler is one such gorgeous creation in San Francisco that combines creativity with relaxing panache and plenty of modernity. Started in 2013, Patreon brings together artists, musicians and creative folk from different backdrop. Its latest headquarters is the perfect hub for all the bustling activity.

New Office of Patreon in San Francisco designed by Gensler

The smart design of the new office occupying a space of 41,000 square feet blends a dash of industrial style with contemporary finishes and a neutral color scheme. The central work area feels like a spacious, open living room of a modern house and a vaulted ceiling with glass panes brings in plenty of natural light. Smaller, more secure workspaces with pops of colors, recording studios and other artistic areas have been combined efficiently in here and one zone flows into the next. The entire Patreon headquarters feels like a sophisticated hub that brings together and nurtures a community of artists. [Photography: Emily Hagopian]

  • Mercer Modern

    Mercer Modern is a midcentury home located on a hillside on a 15,539 SF lot in Mercer Island, WA overlooking Lake Washington. The original house had great bones but was disconnected from the outdoors. Wittman Estes wanted to give the family a way to live outside and connect with their Southern California roots. Originally built in 1969, the post and beam structure had fallen into disrepair, and had a layout that was out of sync with the casual modern lifestyle for a young family with two children. The owner is Melanie Owen, a fashion designer with a keen interest in interior design and outdoor living. Originally from Southern California, her design sensibilities were rooted in SoCal surfer culture and the casual and open vibes of beach living. Both Melanie and her husband, Matt, work in fashion and clothing and have deep interests in texture, materiality, and a spaces with a comfortable lived-in feeling. Ms. Owen’s roots in Southern California brought a love for bright, light tones, and simple open spaces. Together with the architect, this vibe was mixed with Pacific Northwest traditions of wood tones and highly crafted built-in furniture. The goal was to create spaces that had both the qualities of Southern California modernism with a warmer, high quality carpentry that the Puget Sound region is known for. The outdoor deck has a ipe decking and built in seating. Cedar slat walls screen the neighboring houses while allowing the sunlight to filter through the screens. The kitchen was reconfigured to orient to the outdoors encourage an easy connection between the living room, dining room, and outdoor space. A concrete and glass stair connect the upper terrace to the garden and landscape. “We sought to connect the spaces in so the family could be relaxed and cruise barefoot going indoors and out”, says Wittman. The breezy and lightweight feeling of the material palette encourages the family to step outside and connect with the sunlight and views over Lake Washington and towards the downtown Seattle skyline.
