This 4-story contemporary townhouse in the Mission District had a great bones, but required updating to resonate with our clients’ sophisticated style. We designed each level to share a cohesive look of soft, organic textures and medium woods which are then juxtaposed by high-contrast black finishes and clean lines. Color was introduced in the powder room; unexpectedly adorned in a bold, painterly wallpaper.

The kitchen, previously enclosed by walls, was opened up to the dining area to create flow through the space. The fireplace in the living area tiled with floor-to-ceiling fluted stone draws the eyes up, while the integrated limestone hearth and firewood box grounds the custom millwork on the right.
