This Queen Anne Victorian mansion was originally designed and built in 1906, as a San Francisco family's weekend retreat. My clients came to its rescue several years ago, purchasing it and the adjacent Carriage House, which is a designated historical building. They commissioned me and Landscape Architect Richard Vignolo to design a swimming pool area, complete with gardens and cabañas, which would maintain and complement the elegant and historic integrity of the property. They envisioned a family setting in a resort atmosphere.
