Balancing modern architectural elements with traditional Edwardian features was a key component of the complete renovation of this San Francisco residence. All new finishes were selected to brighten and enliven the spaces, and the home was filled with a mix of furnishings that convey a modern twist on traditional elements. The re-imagined layout of the home supports activities that range from a cozy family game night to al fresco entertaining.

A partial remodel of a Marin ranch home, this residence was designed to highlight the incredible views outside its walls. The husband, an avid chef, requested the kitchen be a joyful space that supported his love of cooking. High ceilings, an open floor plan, and new hardware create a warm, comfortable atmosphere. With the concept that “less is more,” we focused on the orientation of each room and the introduction of clean-lined furnishings to highlight the view rather than the decor, while statement lighting, pillows, and textures added a punch to each space.

A Sapele buffet with wine storage (on the back side to protect the wine from UV damage) provides a physical separation between the kitchen and the dining area while maintaining access to the beautiful view beyond the dining room. The furniture piece buffet is supported by bunn feet and is accented with ribbed glass. The wall sconces above the buffet have been painted to match the wall and provide both up and down lighting. To provide continuity to the support post, each post was wrapped in Sapele stained to match the cabinetry. WestSound Home & Garden magazine

This galley kitchen was opened up to the dining room and extended back into an unused breakfast nook to create more space. Shallow cabinets supporting the hood, alongside range, have spice storage.

Gray panels on the refrigerator and freezer doors compliment the white cabinetry and metal hardware. Warm tones in the stonewood granite backsplash and island countertop add interest and coordinate with the furnishings in the adjacent living area. Dark hardwood floors ground the space. Ilir Rizaj
