Convert a small space to a polished eye-catching and functional home office. We used white painted maple wood veneers and solid wood painted doors, moldings and trims to give the space a formal style. This home office boasts under cabinet LED lighting, doors with glass inserts, upper cabinets surrounded by wrap around shelving for books and accent pieces and sturdy maple wood drawers for storing office supplies or filing important documents.

A New Modern House in San Francisco, California’s North Beach Neighborhood This house, designed with fellow Architect Jane F. Mah, was a seminal project in the transition of our firm’s aesthetic from Post Modernism toward Modernism. From a programmatic point of view, our challenge was to create a larger home from an existing 625 square foot carriage house located above a garage. Because the existing structure was legally built but did not conform to the City’s current planning code, the structure could not be enlarged. By inserting three floors within the original building envelope, we were able to create almost 2000 square feet of living area. The centerpiece of the interior is a curving pigmented steel and maple stair. Other features of note include custom cabinetry stained in two colors, built-in cantilever shelving, a custom desk and the two-story entry space. Fung Shui principles were incorporated at the owner’s request.

Edwardian Remodel with Modern Twist in San Francisco, California's Bernal Heights Neighborhood For this remodel in San Francisco’s Bernal Heights, we were the third architecture firm the owners hired. After using other architects for their master bathroom and kitchen remodels, they approached us to complete work on updating their Edwardian home. Our work included tying together the exterior and entry and completely remodeling the lower floor for use as a home office and guest quarters. The project included adding a new stair connecting the lower floor to the main house while maintaining its legal status as the second unit in case they should ever want to rent it in the future. Providing display areas for and lighting their art collection were special concerns. Interior finishes included polished, cast-concrete wall panels and counters and colored frosted glass. Brushed aluminum elements were used on the interior and exterior to create a unified design. Work at the exterior included custom house numbers, gardens, concrete walls, fencing, meter boxes, doors, lighting and trash enclosures. Photos by Mark Brand.

Wall to wall custom cabinetry keeps the collections of books organized and graphically interesting. South facing windows allow light to permeate the space and flood the meeting room in daylight. White paint throughout keeps the space bright for meetings. Flooring is locally sourced hardwood. Stainless steel tables are pushed together at center to create a dynamic workspace.
