Working with a foundation of beautiful architectural plans by Mark English, we created a family home that reflected our client’s aesthetic and lifestyle.
Channeling the surrounding neighborhood, the color palette we chose is soft and coastal. Our clients, being born and raised San Franciscans, requested some meaningful elements that celebrate their beloved city–like the terrazzo countertops that echo the original terrazzo on the front steps of the home.
Balancing form and function was at the forefront of every design decision. Elements like the wall-to-wall headboard in the primary suite and arched shower enclosure in the smaller en suite bathroom were clever solutions to hide quirks from the 1940s.
