In San Francisco, Studio Terpeluk Revives the Redwood House

With its rich redwood finishes complemented by expansive glazing and vibrant art and design — including a life-sized sculpture by Wanxin Zhang (top image) — the Redwood House by Studio Terpeluk achieves a dramatic chiaroscuro effect.

The Pink Warrior stands sentry in the living room. The bubble gum–hued, cast bronze sculpture from Wanxin Zhang’s Made in China series irreverently alludes to the terracotta soldiers of the Qin dynasty. It’s the perfect emblem for Studio Terpeluk’s renovation of the Redwood House, a home belonging to an art-collecting couple in San Francisco’s verdant Noe Valley. That’s because the residence also boldly bridges past and present.
