Thick wood posts anchor the design, while crisp, white-painted risers provide beautiful highlights beside the blonde wood tones. The defining feature is the sleek horizontal black rod railing that lines the staircase's turns.

Well-traveled. Relaxed. Timeless.
Our well-traveled clients were soon-to-be empty nesters when they approached us for help reimagining their Presidio Heights home. The expansive Spanish-Revival residence originally constructed in 1908 had been substantially renovated 8 year prior, but needed some adaptations to better suit the needs of a family with three college-bound teens. We evolved the space to be a bright, relaxed reflection of the family’s time together, revising the function and layout of the ground-floor rooms and filling them with casual, comfortable furnishings and artifacts collected abroad.
One of the key changes we made to the space plan was to eliminate the formal dining room and transform an area off the kitchen into a casual gathering spot for our clients and their children. The expandable table and coffee/wine bar means the room can handle large dinner parties and small study sessions with similar ease. The family room was relocated from a lower level to be more central part of the main floor, encouraging more quality family time, and freeing up space for a spacious home gym.
In the living room, lounge-worthy upholstery grounds the space, encouraging a relaxed and effortless West Coast vibe. Exposed wood beams recall the original Spanish-influence, but feel updated and fresh in a light wood stain. Throughout the entry and main floor, found artifacts punctate the softer textures — ceramics from New Mexico, religious sculpture from Asia and a quirky wall-mounted phone that belonged to our client’s grandmother.

The Tahoe
The largest of our luxurious Executive Townhomes, the Tahoe is designed to encourage togetherness. Light streams into the open-concept main floor, illuminating the spacious kitchen, living and dining rooms.

This front porch, originally called the "bunker" was a bricked in space that needed a "sympathic restoration" to honour the original design. The owners wanted an open porch that would encourage community connection and add to the beauty of the neigbouhood.
