Welcome to the one and only award-winning Chameleon House -- a 32-foot-high, 9-level modern-industrial masterpiece designed by San Francisco’s renowned Anderson Anderson Architects. This published, trophy-worthy home is unlike anything else, both an architectural landmark and a living work of art. The innovative translucent polyethylene siding reflects and mimics the surrounding landscape and sky, transforming with the seasons. Inside, warm birch wood panels soften the sleek steel construction.
