Stanley-Saitowitz-designed Hayes Valley flat asks $1.09 million

Love him or love him, one cannot deny the impact of Stanley Saitowitz’s structure. The San Francisco starchitect’s sleek minimalism does more than provide contemporary shelter for the well-moneyed set. His residential buildings also contribute a dose of positive contrast to San Francisco’s sentimental Victorian-heavy neighborhoods.

Perhaps his most talked-about is 8 Octavia, the grey behemoth at Market and Octavia. Unit #301 lands on the market today, featuring two beds, two and a half baths, and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Other modern accents include concrete ceilings, oak floors, and vertical shutter for which 8 Octavia is (in)famous.

HOAs come to $695. Asking is $1,095,000.
