Callen Residence

Hanging on the steep eastern slopes of San Francisco’s Telegraph Hill with spectacular views to the Bay Bridge and Treasure Island, this 2,000 square foot remodel combines two small condominium units into one sweeping, light filled space. For a client who entertains often, an open central kitchen links the living and dining areas with a long curving wet bar/island. Shaped to recall memories as a pilot, the wing/boat-like form also references the client’s frequent sailing adventures. The shimmering depth of the anigree wood cabinets is cut with strong reveal lines and complimented by a stainless steel backsplash and luscious green granite counters. Stainless steel pipes pierce the wood corners and a custom stainless steel sink links the two halves of the bar. Long walls are sculpted with niches and strongly colored as background for art. New limestone flooring throughout provides a neutral, elegant palette that blends the new and old furnishings.
