Industrial living reaches its peak at this three-storey warehouse conversion in San Francisco’s SoMa neighbourhood – cleverly reimagined as a vast live-work space.

The building’s former life is evident in the concrete beams, huge windows and exposed brickwork, lightly polished and paired with steel staircases and sliding Crittall doors by Knock Architecture & Design and Butler Armsden Architects.

Skylights bring sunlight into the first floor’s soaring 20-foot space, currently envisaged as the main living space. The architects have managed to zone living areas with minimal permanent interventions, meaning its future owners could re-configure the layout per their needs, including its four bedrooms.

Steps lead up to a mezzanine level which includes glass walkways that maintain the airy feel, while a circular chandelier, made bespoke by an artist, illuminates the central living space.

The San Francisco loft is listed with Sotheby’s International Realty – San Francisco Brokerage, and as you’d expect for a 5,279 sq ft property near the Yerba Buena Gardens and Moscone Center, it doesn’t come cheap at $6.5m.

But there’s ample bang for your buck: heritage and flexibility are its key selling points. Timber beams and exposed pipework carry the industrial vibe across its floorplan, and the loft culminates with a huge roof deck, with views across the city.
