The Office of Charles de Lisle

Based in Sausalito, California, The Office of Charles de Lisle designs residential living halls and high-rise penthouses marked by monolithic plywood interior shells, raw aggregate stonework, and angled perimeter glazing that channels overhead top-light. This work serves as a practical reference when detailing continuous timber paneling around concealed apertures, integrating copper details into raw masonry, or arranging central double-sided seating within expansive open plans.

High-rise living room interior with angled structural columns and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking city and ocean, designed by The Office of Charles de Lisle.

Charles de Lisle — High-rise Residence

A high-rise residential living room precedent showcasing how angled structural columns and full-height glazing integrate dramatic urban and coastal views into a sophisticated interior layout.

What we like about this project
The deep faceted angle of the structural window reveals transforms standard perimeter columns into dynamic spatial sculptures.
