Time Lapse Construction of the Nancy and Stephen Grand Family House

Check out this fun time lapse video of the start of the Nancy and Stephen Grand Family House at Mission Bay! We broke ground on September 17, 2014, and will open our doors to 80 families per night in January, 2016! Read more about the project here: http://www.familyhouseinc.org/mission-bay.html

Architects Meeting

As the structure of the new Nancy and Stephen Grand Family House is now finalized, the architects are up to the interior design, including colors, materials, and furniture. Family House staff were able to meet with Richard Stacy of Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects for input on design elements and to talk through some materials decisions (which flooring is better in kitchens versus bathrooms, etc.) which have already been made. So exciting that it’s all coming together!

Nancy & Stephen Grand Family House - Architect Plans

You’ve heard a lot of talk about the new Nancy & Stephen Grand Family House at Mission Bay, but have you seen the plans yet?

Here are some photos of the architect’s 3D model, as well as the latest architectural drawings for the new house.

The new building will have 80 bedrooms: floors 2-5 will each serve 20 families per night, split into 2 “neighborhoods.”  Each “neighborhood” will have its own living, dining, cooking, and laundry space.  There are several bedroom sizes, dependent on the size of the family staying, and all bedrooms will have en-suite bathrooms!  We are very excited about the private, outdoor courtyard on the second floor, as well as the exercise room and teen rooms, and the parking lot on the ground floor.

We’ll be just a few blocks from the new UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital, and we can’t wait to open our doors!

If you haven’t yet donated to our Capital Campaign, please consider making a gift through our Calling All Angels campaign page at http://indiegogo.com/projects/calling-all-angels
