SOMA Converted Warehouse
Metropolitan Home: April 2008

Last October we slinked to the Tehama Grasshopper Residence, a SOMA warehouse-turned-green-mixed use-building. We're excited to see more photos of it in Metropolitan Home.

Architect Anne Fougeron and project architect Todd Aranaz turned the 8,500-square foot warehouse into an office and loft, complete with master suite penthouse. Owners Jason Shelton and Amy Shimer and their two kids now live in a gorgeous glass, steel, and concrete home.

    my three favorite words... glass, concrete and steel. i LOVE it! the simplicity of the courtyard... i love it. it's like an abstract painting!

    I can understand adults chosing to live in such a sparse place, but I wonder what that does to the kids? I grew up playing hide and seek in my friends giant victorian house - full of nooks and crannies and odd little stairwells. Altho - this place looks like it would be much better for rollerskating than said Victorian.

    The openness and the high ceilings are fantastic. I dream of having a home like this, I love it. Awesome!

    ok so the picture of the little bub in the grass/stone and white room is a tad creepy. lab testing style.

    i cannot put my finger on why this feels so pretentious. i look at converted contemporary loft spaces all the time, and i usually lust after them, but this one smacks of cold cold cold, so self-conscious and very off-putting. the gate around the stairwell feels like a prison. it doesn't feel liveable. i think i'd be miserable at a party full of people who would be oohing and aahing in this space, never mind the "perfect couple w/baby" who are inhabiting it.

    I like very much the inside, but the outside it is a bit scaring!
