"A Space Distilled\nSpare Interiors Put the Focus on a Contemporary Art Collection and Views of San Francisco Bay\nIn San Francisco, architect Michael Palladino and interior designer Rick Irving, of Richard Meier &amp;amp; Partners Architects, reconfigured the interior spaces of a Pacific Heights apartment. Palladino reengineered a shear wall, opening the living space to the west gallery and vestibule. White plaster walls keep the focus on the owners' collection of contemporary art, which includes Robinson's Wrap, 1974, at right, by Helen Frankenthaler and Sean Scully's Barcelona Green, 2007.\nIn the living room, \"the light coffers give the painted wood ceiling a defined edge,\" notes Palladino, whose firm designed some of the furnishings, including the side table and the rug. Above the fireplace are a 1980 sculpture by Ron Moore and a 1966 oil by Raimonds Staprans.\nThe plan shows the flow of galleries around the elevator core.\n\n1 Vestibule\n\n 2 Living/Dining Area\n\n 3 Kitchen\n\n 4 East Gallery\n\n 5 South Gallery\n\n 6 Guest Room\n\n 7 Master Bedroom\n\n 8 Dressing Room\n\n 9 Master Bath\n\n 10 Study\n\n 11 West Gallery\n\n 12 Powder Room\nWorld War II Japanese battleship binoculars occupy the apartment's northwest corner.\nFrom the dining area, Keith Haring's Self Portrait, 1998, is visible in the east gallery.

Wolf ovens, cooktop and customized hood.\nHanging in the master bedroom are two works by Wayne Thiebaud: Bow Ties, 1990, left, and Hill Street, 1987."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
