INTRODUCING "SKY"

The Top-Floor Residence at Sol de Dolores

What happens when a world-class architect—whose work includes skyline-defining towers in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Honolulu—turns his focus toward a personal passion project set within a classic Edwardian building in Mission Dolores?

You get Sol de Dolores, a collection of three architecturally distinct homes, designed with extraordinary care and intention. Set in one of the most culturally rich neighborhoods in the country, these residences reflect a rare balance of form, function, and feeling. Sky, the top-floor home, is the crown jewel—a private, light-filled retreat with curated materials, elevated finishes, and flowing indoor-outdoor living.

The main living space is a study in architectural rhythm and spatial clarity. Floor-to-ceiling glass sliders connect the great room to a U-shaped private deck with views toward Liberty Hill and Dolores Park. Inside, the kitchen is anchored by an oversized island clad in Calacatta Roma porcelain slab, repeated across the backsplash and hood surround for a seamless, sculptural effect. Miele appliances—including a panel-ready refrigerator, induction cooktop, dual wall ovens, and a knock-to-open dishwasher—are integrated into Ronbow soft turquoise cabinetry with push-to-open hardware and brass fixtures. Under-cabinet LED lighting and fluted wood detailing on the island bring warmth and texture to the minimalist design.

The primary bedroom suite is privately positioned and includes two fully built-out closets, room for a king-sized bed, and direct access to a private front-facing deck. The ensuite bath features dual vanities, a glass-enclosed stall shower with floor-to-ceiling fish-scale tile, brass Kohler fixtures, and a Toto dual-flush toilet. The second bedroom offers its own connection to the deck and is equally bright and serene, while the third bedroom—currently staged as a home office—provides versatility and easy access to the hall bath. The second bathroom is appointed with a floating vanity, arched mirror flanked by custom sconces, brass fixtures, a Toto dual-flush toilet, and a shower-over-tub surrounded by Roka feather tile and a sunburst mosaic backsplash.

Stairs lead to the home’s exclusive rooftop deck—an open-sky sanctuary with expansive outlooks, including familiar local landmarks. It’s a rare find: private, elevated, and designed for both solitude and celebration.

Throughout the home, every detail has been considered—from the wide-plank white oak flooring and solid-core exterior-grade doors to the Lutron Caseta lighting system, CAT6, Ubiquiti WiFi 6 integration, and Samsung washer and dryer. Comfort and performance meet elegance and restraint. With its dedicated solar system, EV-ready setup, garage parking for one vehicle, and private storage room, Sky offers a highly tailored living experience, crafted by one of the most accomplished design minds on the West Coast.

About the architect - strachan forgan


Strachan Forgan, Principal and Executive Director of SCB’s San Francisco office, is an award-winning architect whose work spans the Pacific and beyond — from shimmering towers in Honolulu and Los Angeles to transformative urban projects in Oakland and San Francisco. His designs are known for their bold simplicity, sculptural form, and deep sensitivity to place.

With Sol de Dolores, he trades scale for intimacy — bringing the same rigor and refinement found in his skyline-defining projects to a sunlit Edwardian in the heart of Mission Dolores.

WELCOME TO MISSION DOLORES

Mission Dolores, one of San Francisco's oldest neighborhoods, derives its name from the historic Mission San Francisco de Asís, also known as Mission Dolores, founded in 1776. The mission represents the city's earliest European settlement, providing a critical anchor to San Francisco's colonial history.

Mission Street serves as the neighborhood's primary commercial corridor, offering diverse dining, shopping, and essential services. Transportation options include multiple Muni bus lines and the nearby 16th Street and 24th Street BART stations, providing comprehensive regional connectivity.

The architectural landscape showcases a rich diversity of residential styles, from Victorian and Edwardian homes to contemporary developments. The Mission Dolores itself, located at the heart of the neighborhood, stands as a preserved historic landmark that offers insight into San Francisco's earliest days. Dolores Park provides a green space that serves as a community gathering point, offering panoramic views of the city.

Mission Dolores has existed as a center of Latino culture, technological innovation, and artistic expression, capturing the complex social dynamics of San Francisco. From its preserved historical sites to its dynamic street life, Mission Dolores embodies the city's ongoing story of transformation and resilience.
