Berkeley Home

Sometimes we need a little radical surgery to save the patient. Here, a well-intentioned prior owner developed their attic with a new closed stair placed squarely in the middle of the home, like an immovable rock in the middle of a stream. Once demolished, we breathed new life into the space and created an open stair as the centerpiece to the home. The classic bones of this Craftsman cottage were there –just obscured by a series of unfortunate events.

Buena Vista Heights Home^

Typical of many San Francisco Victorians, this home’s kitchen had evolved out of an enclosed porch and rear-yard service space. It was undersized and isolated from the life of the current house. Our work updated this ad hoc space, bringing it into the natural flow of the rest of the structure and creating a stronger, more modern relationship to the rear yard. Open shelving and a series of custom ledges for the family’s seasonal canning efforts intensify the casual working feel to the kitchen, which is modern and yet still consistent with the eclectic essence of the home.

Noe Valley Home^

The stadium-style staircase at the heart of this home on a tight urban site made clever use of the otherwise unusable space above the ceiling of a new ramp to the garage below. We then took inspiration from this slyly monumental move –in the middle of a narrow home– by allowing the stairwells at each level to take on their own character and shift location as they meander up and down the house. Our goal was for the staircases to unite the home and make it feel far larger than its actual square footage.
