Contemporary Living Room, San Francisco

This 1903 Queen Anne Victorian Cottage was owned by a single family from 1920-2009 before it underwent a gut rehabilitation in 2012-2013 to transform it from a decaying 2BR/1BA to a 5BR/3.5BA contemporary family home. The Living Room resides in much the same place as it always did, but with a new box beam ceiling, an iron chandelier and built-in bookcases and cabinets. A chalkboard wall serves as the news center of the home and the oil and wax-finished white oak plank floors add warmth. This house is targeted to achieve a LEED Platinum green certification from the US Green Building Council in 2013. Photo by Open Homes Photography
