New ResidenceSan Francisco, CA | New Residence | Designed: 2014
With a very narrow parcel, sixteen feet wide by eighty-three feet long. our office designed a three storey town home over a garden studio apartment and a street level single car garage. Situated in an affluent neighborhood with many Gothic Revival (Victorian) town homes, this project used the prevailing style as a source for architectural interpretation. The first level contains the more public functions in urban living, entry, parlor, kitchen, and dining, while the private uses are reserved for the upper levels. The master bedroom suite is quite formal and accommodating for long periods and an adjacent study is located on this level for quieter activities and work. Given the quality that we are searching for, custom casework and fine detailing enhance our efforts. Project unbuilt. To view drawings, please click on the link below. New Residence Drawings |

Klein ResidenceHillsborough, CA | New Residence | Designed: 2012
Located in an affluent residential community just south of San Francisco, the house is derived from nineteenth century rural England, an historical period that is expressed in other houses nearby. While not consciously repeating an historical style, our approach is to use it as a point of departure and to interpret it while meeting our client’s needs and aspirations. The site is flat and rectilinear with the long southwestern boundary abutting Hillsborough Boulevard, a primary suburban artery infrequently traveled by non-residents. Project unbuilt.

Harms Residence
San Francisco, CA | Remodel | Completed in 2003
With a recent purchase of this Victorian (Gothic Revival) bungalow, our client wanted to remodel to more accurately fit their needs. The rear yard carriage house would be occupied by their daughter during college while the bungalow would accommodate weekend visits and other short stays away from their home in neighboring Marin county. The rear yard addition makes room for a country kitchen while the remaining spaces have been reorganized to contain a new library, a master bedroom suite, a remodeled dining room with anteroom, a remodeled living room, and entrance foyer. The existing garage below was enlarged to accommodate two cars and a substantial structural upgrade makes the original primary frame more resistant to a seismic event.
