Eclectic backyard garden in San Francisco with natural stone pavers.

A tiny 65m site with only 3m of internal width posed some interesting design challenges. The Victorian terrace façade will have a loving touch up, however entering through the front door; a new kitchen has been inserted into the middle of the plan, before stepping up into a light filled new living room. Large timber bifold doors open out onto a timber deck and extend the living area into the compact courtyard. A simple green wall adds a punctuation mark of colour to the space. A two-storey light well, pulls natural light into the heart of the ground and first floor plan, with an operable skylight allowing stack ventilation to keep the interiors cool through the Summer months. The open plan design and simple detailing give the impression of a much larger space on a very tight urban site. Photography by Huw Lambert

The wooden fence gate is integrated into a granite wall that delineates the cultivated portion of the outdoor living space. Blue Nikko Hydrangeas abut the bluestone pathway that leads to the back of the property and the view to the salt marsh and ocean beyond.
