Well-traveled. Relaxed. Timeless. Our well-traveled clients were soon-to-be empty nesters when they approached us for help reimagining their Presidio Heights home. The expansive Spanish-Revival residence originally constructed in 1908 had been substantially renovated 8 year prior, but needed some adaptations to better suit the needs of a family with three college-bound teens. We evolved the space to be a bright, relaxed reflection of the family’s time together, revising the function and layout of the ground-floor rooms and filling them with casual, comfortable furnishings and artifacts collected abroad. One of the key changes we made to the space plan was to eliminate the formal dining room and transform an area off the kitchen into a casual gathering spot for our clients and their children. The expandable table and coffee/wine bar means the room can handle large dinner parties and small study sessions with similar ease. The family room was relocated from a lower level to be more central part of the main floor, encouraging more quality family time, and freeing up space for a spacious home gym. In the living room, lounge-worthy upholstery grounds the space, encouraging a relaxed and effortless West Coast vibe. Exposed wood beams recall the original Spanish-influence, but feel updated and fresh in a light wood stain. Throughout the entry and main floor, found artifacts punctate the softer textures — ceramics from New Mexico, religious sculpture from Asia and a quirky wall-mounted phone that belonged to our client’s grandmother.

This classic loft building features the Flatiron Residence, features large windows and soaring ceiling heights. This was a perfect project for a young growing family who wanted to create a luminous, spacious home. They combined two floors and opted for a sun drenched, generous layout designed to maintain as much openness as possible throughout the residence. The overall feeling is fresh, contemporary and artisan. Their custom kitchen anchors the main floor’s loft space while the dining, living and family rooms flow together. The rooms are separated only by a full height woven-leather sliding panel system. This was integrated to give the owners flexibility in open or closed doors depending on how they’re occupying the space on any given day. The stair’s sculptural bronze and white oak finishes quietly integrate the two floors, with cove lighting and an artisan glass chandelier illuminating the area.
