About
For more than a decade, Anand Sheth has lived and worked in a two-level flat in San Francisco’s Liberty Hill Historic District. Built in 1885 by architect Albert Pissis, the apartment has served as both home and laboratory—a place where architecture, art, and daily life evolve together.
What began as a shared apartment among friends gradually became the headquarters of Studio Anand Sheth.

Rather than a single renovation, the project unfolds through small interventions—layers of paint, shifting furniture arrangements, artworks, and incremental architectural upgrades. The apartment remains intentionally unfinished, adapting alongside the life of the studio it houses.
