A four-story home in San Francisco serves as the vessel and the canvas for light sculptures. For the project, dubbed Capturing Light, local firm Min Design approached the minimal residence by exploring the dynamics of light to create a shifting, meditative space. The architecture strategically positions openings, white walls, and angled surfaces so light and shadow decorate the home like artwork, ever-changing as the sun moves throughout the day.
“Capturing Light, one of our newest San Francisco residences, was a long, very carefully considered project,” said E.B. Min, the firm’s founder and principal. The site posed a challenge with its many neighboring structures and only two exposures, not to mention a dense program. Yet the clients main desire for the home was to incorporate light. In place of washing the entire residence in windows, Min and her team focused on creating a series of moments or vignettes that reflect or manipulate light in different ways.
