Aidlin Darling-Designed Contemporary Masterpiece

A landmark residence by award-winning Aidlin Darling Design, this modern architectural statement sits on a prime, tree-lined block in Cow Hollow.

Completed in 2016, the home is a bold reimagining of classic San Francisco architecture—defined by poured-in-place concrete, warm wood louvers, and expansive panes of glass. Designed for privacy without sacrificing natural light, the facade offers both shelter and openness in equal measure.

Inside, a subtle entry sequence gives way to a breathtaking 20-foot-tall great room with uninterrupted views across the San Francisco Bay. Above the dining table, a sculptural 13-foot light installation commands attention. Adjacent, the walnut and stainless steel kitchen seamlessly blends into the living space, disappearing behind five retractable frosted glass panels when desired. At the northern edge, 12-foot pivot doors open to a cantilevered deck, framing a cinematic view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Angel Island, and the Palace of Fine Arts.

The second level is anchored by a serene primary suite nestled among the treetops, with operable louvers and a catwalk study that floats above the great room with postcard-worthy views. A green roof crowns the home, offering environmental benefits and visual tranquility. Throughout, minimalist detailing is elevated by exquisite materials—cove lighting, stone finishes, translucent glass, and a clean white palette.

Carved into the hillside, the four-level north facade is all glass and panorama. Beneath it, a media lounge offers a fully immersive experience—part private theater, part nightclub, complete with DJ booth, wet bar, and 12 programmable screens. The lower level opens to lush outdoor spaces by Andrea Cochran, including an alfresco dining area, lanai with wet bar and TV, in-ground spa, and fire trough—an intimate retreat amid bamboo and Bay views.

Thoughtfully composed in every dimension—light, material, and scale—this Cow Hollow home delivers a masterclass in modern design, all set against San Francisco’s most iconic backdrop.
