This beautiful 2 story kitchen remodel was created by removing an unwanted bedroom. The increased ceiling height was conceived by adding some structural columns and a triple barrel arch, creating a usable balcony that connects to the original back stairwell and overlooks the Kitchen as well as the Greatroom. This dramatic renovation took place without disturbing the original 100yr. old stone exterior and maintaining the original french doors above the balcony.

Modern Style and Sustainable Ethos in San Francisco's Liberty Hill Neighborhood We were hired to overhaul the awkward spaces and poorly completed renovations prior owners had made to the master suite of this home on Liberty Hill. A complete reconfiguring of the existing spaces included conversion of one bedroom into a unique, expansive bathroom with views of downtown. By using a free-standing walnut-clad feature wall to separate the bathroom from the bedroom we were able to create a bright, open and calming master suite without the traditional divisions of spaces into rooms. This wall floats free from the ceiling and adjacent walls just as the sink floats (by means of hidden supports) free from the wall behind it. By giving away or selling most of the old fixtures and materials and making creative use of renewable or reclaimed materials, we were able to make a statement about sustainability as well as design.
