This 30th-floor condo in San Diego’s downtown Columbia District turned out to be the perfect aerie to hole up in during the worst of the pandemic. But it took some doing by interior designer Mark Stocker to transform an empty new construction space into a modernist dream for the couple who now own it. The dreamy views didn’t hurt either but it’s a delicate balance to create a special interior space that doesn’t overwhelm the stunner beyond the windows. It was a fun story to write and it’s in the February issue of the newly renamed San Diego Union-Tribune magazine, Hot Property Estates.
