The walls and surfaces had to resist damage from ski gear, so the architects used hot-rolled steel and fiber cement boards usually reserved for industrial structures. The steel serves double duty in the kitchen, where wares are mounted to the wall with magnets. The kitchen features a Miele cooktop and oven and Liebherr refrigerator. Stools by Crate and Barrel provide additional seating.

We recently paid a visit to March, located on Sacramento Street in San Francisco. With its impeccably curated collections of tableware, custom commissioned pieces from American designers, and beautiful interiors, March may well be San Francisco's loveliest shop for kitchen and tableware.
