This house had been neglected for many years.
Not a scrap of it’s original elegance remained on the inside.
It was clogged with awkward progressions through unnecessary hallways & isolated rooms that provided no relationship to the supporting spaces that should have tied more directly to them.
The interior spaces were almost completely reconfigured & a rear addition with expansive windows, doors, & new rear terraces was created to take advantage of awe inspiring views of the Golden Gate Bridge.
The façade was refinished. Leaking & drafty leaded glass windows were replaced with insulated windows that sandwiched aluminum between panes to match the original detailing.
I designed a new stained oak front door & garage door that copy the detail of the original leaded windows.
I designed a brand new large scale wood newel at the base of the stair.
I also designed balusters, railing caps, & intermediate newels for a 3 story stair case & a custom metal & glass stair railing for a stair leading to the lower level Wine Cellar & Home Gym.
