A diamond in the rough was polished to a new brilliance in this remodel. Moving the kitchen to be front and center of everything was the key to this remodel. Carrying the motif of less is more, this remodel emphasized the qualities this Parisian-styled home had with a modern open floor plan.

Careful detailing of the structural elements ensured the work could proceed without affecting the unit below. Completed in 2014, this home now offers its young family the full urban experience of stylish San Francisco living.

During the planning phase we undertook a fairly major Value Engineering of the design to ensure that the project would be completed within the clients budget. The client identified a ‘Fords Garage’ style that they wanted to incorporate. They wanted an open, industrial feel, however, we wanted to ensure that the property felt more like a welcoming, home environment; not a commercial space. A Fords Garage typically has exposed beams, ductwork, lighting, conduits, etc. But this extent of an Industrial style is not ‘homely’. So we incorporated tongue and groove ceilings with beams, concrete colored tiled floors, and industrial style lighting fixtures. During construction the client designed the courtyard, which involved a large permit revision and we went through the full planning process to add that scope of work. The finished project is a gorgeous blend of industrial and contemporary home style.

Inspired by the imagery of beach cottages closely grouped together next to the ocean, the project consists of three simple freestanding buildings arranged on the site so that the composition of the structures provides as much visual interest as the buildings themselves. The campus approach to the site results in small, highly rentable living and commercial spaces that are unique, identifiable, and visually interesting. Three residential units sit atop small commercial spaces that will support independent craft and service businesses like a surf shop, an artisan outlet, or even a specialty food store. Just enough parking is integrated into the site to allow overlapping usage between residential and commercial tenants, while visitors will be primarily pedestrian oriented from the adjacent retail district of Rockaway Beach.
