jones \| haydu is a San Francisco based studio established in 2004 by principals Hulett Jones and Paul Haydu. We are a young and thoughtful firm with a demonstrated interest in innovative solutions, attention to craft and detail, and a desire to enrich each project with a distinct narrative. Combining over thirty years of experience in architecture, design, and interiors, we have worked on commercial, institutional, hospitality, and residential projects in several states. We are a growing studio that strikes a balance between large firm experience and small firm intimacy.

Our philosophy is centered on a specificity in each design problem and solution. We foster ideas and concepts informed by the unique nature of the client, the site, and the program. In so doing, we strive to unify aesthetic invention, functional sensibility, social and environmental responsibility,and economic reality. Rather than imposing a unified style upon user and circumstance, we seek inspiration from them. At the core of this philosophy is the goal to have architecture enhance one's experience.

We are driven by the idea that architecture comprises and emerges from numerous forces and stimuli, some apparent, others hidden. With a focus on communication and exploration, we understand that dialogue is essential and allows both a clearer understanding of the clients and their concerns as well as the emergence of less apparent, though deeply resonant desires. During these discussions, a layered design melding the essential functional needs with more emotive and sensory gestures takes shape. Ideally, each design goes beyond the pragmatic requirements and aesthetic desires and allows for rich connection, discovery, and wonder.

  - Description: This one level flat was completely gutted by a fire. We completely changed the layout of rooms. The wood feature wall is composed of reused studs that were charred in the fire. At the edges, some of the black charring can still be seen. The stair treads seen here were originally covered in tile. The existing wood stair was exposed and refinished. This project has been featured in Dwell and the San Francisco Chronicle. Photography by Bruce Damonte

## Community Q&A

**Q: Love the chest of drawers. Can you tell me where it’s from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi, I love the work you’ve done on this home. Can you tell me where the chest is from or if it is bespoke? Many thanks, Egon

A: Hi Egon, Apologies for the slow reply. The dresser is a vintage piece. We have the luxury of several great vintage shops here in San Francisco. This one was sourced at one that is no longer open, unfortunately.

**Q: steel grate floor** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi, can you please tell me where the steel grate floor came from? Is it comfortable on bare feet? Thanks so much!

A: McNichols makes the steel grating. We had several samples sent from them for us to review so the client could walk on them to test them out. It was fine on bare feet... the true test was the dog once installed!

**Q: What brand is the green shower tile?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The tile are from Heath. They were "seconds" which are their units that either are not up to their normal standards or the last of a run of color that they cannot match.

**Q: what material countertop is this** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: the stone is called Pietra Cardoza.

**Q: Lovely!** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where did you source the vanity cabinet and sink?

A: Hi Daus,
The vanity and sink are custom made.

**Q: Railing posts** *(in Photo Questions)*

What are the railing post made of? What species goes on the railing handle?Beautiful deck!

A: Custom railing with steel posts and an ipe cap.
