Ceiling storage turns bikes into sculpture.	SHIFT exterior from Shotwell Street. David Baker's home and workspace, SHIFT's two levels share an austere-yet-quirky yard and freestanding woodshop. upSHIFT's modest living quarters flank a sun-filled multipurpose room that extends onto a glass deck. dnSHIFT houses a private apartment and art studio-gallery space that opens to the street.
Scrap-metal mosaics brighten the back elevation.	An existential sign encourages reflection in the backyard.
Glass shoji screens slide aside to expand the kitchen. Skylights illuminate the bathtub.	Permeable landscaping captures stormwater for reuse. Glass deck from below.
