Founded in 2005 by Edward Gama, we specialize in whole-house renovations of San Francisco's Victorian, Edwardian, and mid-century homes, plus ground-up new construction. Both bring their own demands, from complex hillside excavations to custom millwork and finish carpentry, and we coordinate every trade under one contract so it all answers to a single project manager. We come in early and work alongside the architect of record, including MAK Studio, Philip Mathews, and Smith & Architects, who are identifying constructability, cost, and timeline issues while the drawings can still be developed. We pride ourselves in first-class project management with cost control, deep attention to detail, and close client collaboration. We transform residences into masterpieces that respect history while reinvigorating classics with modern touches. We see ourselves as advocates moving each project from concept to completed home.

The cedar-clad upper sits on a board-form concrete plinth — a contemporary intervention that holds its own next to the neighborhood's older Edwardian and craftsman houses without mimicking them. Inside, ebonized oak runs across the floors and continues up into custom millwork; a steel-and-stone staircase organizes the volume vertically. Kitchen and bath surfaces are stone slab, set against the dark oak i… - [Chenery Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chenery-cottage-pj-vj~7864878) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 14 - Description: Edwardian renovation in Glen Park, San Francisco, completed 2020 with MAK Studio. The companion project to 240 Chenery Street next door. The Edwardian massing and street-facing detail were preserved; behind them, the interior was rebuilt around contemporary geometry, materials, and circulation. Custom oak millwork organizes the new plan; Calacatta marble appears at the kitchen and bath surfaces as the deliberate counter-material. Marvin pivot doors and large-format glazing let the new interior b… - [Temple Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/temple-street-pj-vj~7864879) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 28 - Description: A single confident object. Stucco, cedar, steel, glass. Custom new construction in San Francisco, completed 2019 with MAK Studio. The composition is a stucco volume punctuated by cedar planks, steel detailing, and floor-to-ceiling glass that pulls the city light deep into the plan. The cedar was specified for long-term weathering rather than short-term photography. Engineered for the site rather than the spec book. Site-specific structural engineering and shoring were scoped at schematic, alongs… - [Ord Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ord-street-pj-vj~2289956) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 10 - Description: Craftsman to the sidewalk, modern to the back wall. New-construction residence in San Francisco, completed 2013 with architect Philip Mathews. The exterior carries ebonized cedar shingles and proportions that read as period-appropriate from the sidewalk. Inside, rift-sawn oak runs across the floor plane and pairs with custom steel-and-glass railing details that pull the interior firmly into contemporary territory. The transition is intentional. The house is permitted, sized, and detailed to belo… - [Buena Vista Avenue East](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/buena-vista-avenue-east-pj-vj~7864886) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: A 1910 Edwardian, taken down to the studs. Original detail kept; everything behind the walls rebuilt to current code. Whole-house renovation in San Francisco, completed 2008 by Edward Gama. Down-to-the-studs renovations of century-old San Francisco housing are a specific kind of work. The structure is rarely plumb, the framing is usually undersized for modern loads, and the original detail is fragile in ways that can't be re-fabricated once damaged. The approach was to scope a careful protection… [See all 5 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/gamabuilt-pfvwus-pf~755217033) ## Ideabooks - [egamasf's Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6461353/list/egamasf-s-ideas) — 7 ideas - [facades](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/20890035/list/facades) — 2 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/edwardgama) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
