Custom-built in the early eighties, this contemporary home was cloaked in all brown board siding with brown windows and a cumbersome street-facing carport. The current owners had raised their family there on property that borders serene conservation land. Now they were ready for a new, brighter exterior look that would include all new windows to take in the exquisite view, unobscured by the fog of failing window seals; new siding that wouldn’t be subject to woodpecker wear and tear; a refinished screen porch; a new garage to replace the undersized carport; and new entry access. On the interior, they wanted the new, fresh vibe to extend to the design of three renovated modern bathrooms. In response, KHS proposed black-framed windows throughout in simpler configurations; fiber-cement (and PVC) exterior cladding in three textures to differentiate functions and features; a unifying light-gray and white palette teamed with clear-finished mahogany/sapele to carry across the exterior as well as the bathroom renovations; a stream-lined screen porch with cable rails; a new shed-roofed garage to resolve the exterior massing; and a new covered walkway entrance delivering those arriving into a repurposed interior space. Once the overall design was resolved, the owners elected to complete the work in phases over several years. Phase 1 included renovating the powder room, guest bathroom, and primary bathroom, and refreshing the screen porch. See the reconceived modern bathrooms here on the KHS website. Next came constructing the new garage and entry, which on the interior included new floor tile and a new entry wall-paneling system to conceal electrical, solar, and security panels/controls. Phase III involved installing the rest of the new windows and completing the comprehensive new exterior cladding and palette to tie the earlier phases together. To cap it off, KHS worked with the owners to select new clean-lined furnishings for the living area in colors inspired by their coastal view.

This property in Rosedale was completed in phases over a three year period. Many quality professionals were involved in the planning and construction of this project. Pro-Land was given the opportunity to design and install phase one of this property in 2014. This included the main patio, deck, feature walls, planting beds and outdoor kitchen area. The homeowner then reached out to Janet Rosenberg & Studios in 2016 to complete a Garden Renovation, which included a new pool, a spa hot tub, green house and perimeter planting design. Pro-Land began construction of phase two in 2016 and completed works in 2017. Finally, the homeowner brought her own expertise in design to contribute to the overall composition of the space. A true collaborative effort from many talented professionals made this project a success.

The design for two new blocks of affordable family housing at Hunters View is the first phase of San Francisco’s ambitious HOPE SF program—a plan to revitalize the worst of San Francisco’s crime-ridden and forgotten low-income neighborhoods. With a mix of affordable and market rate housing, the Hunters View Redevelopment is being completed in three phases in order to allow the existing tenants to remain in the neighborhood. The work on Phase I included 53 units on blocks 5 & 6. The units were designed as stacked townhomes with buildings stepping down along the streets in patterns typical of traditional San Francisco row housing. Four buildings surround two mid-block courtyards that provide shared and secure open space. Hunters View was certified LEED for Neighborhood Design (LEED ND) as well as GreenPoint Rated. Please note: On September 26, 2015, there are two limited, guided tours of the affordable housing project Hunters View Housing with the Design Team at 2:30 PM and 3:30 PM ONLY. Plan your day accordingly.

A young family with a wooded, triangular lot in Ipswich, Massachusetts wanted to take on a highly creative, organic, and unrushed process in designing their new home. The parents of three boys had contemporary ideas for living, including phasing the construction of different structures over time as the kids grew so they could maximize the options for use on their land. They hoped to build a net zero energy home that would be cozy on the very coldest days of winter, using cost-efficient methods of home building. The house needed to be sited to minimize impact on the land and trees, and it was critical to respect a conservation easement on the south border of the lot. Finally, the design would be contemporary in form and feel, but it would also need to fit into a classic New England context, both in terms of materials used and durability. We were asked to honor the notions of “surprise and delight,” and that inspired everything we designed for the family. The highly unique home consists of a three-story form, composed mostly of bedrooms and baths on the top two floors and a cross axis of shared living spaces on the first level. This axis extends out to an oversized covered porch, open to the south and west. The porch connects to a two-story garage with flex space above, used as a guest house, play room, and yoga studio depending on the day. A floor-to-ceiling ribbon of glass wraps the south and west walls of the lower level, bringing in an abundance of natural light and linking the entire open plan to the yard beyond. The master suite takes up the entire top floor, and includes an outdoor deck with a shower. The middle floor has extra height to accommodate a variety of multi-level play scenarios in the kids’ rooms. Many of the materials used in this house are made from recycled or environmentally friendly content, or they come from local sources. The high performance home has triple glazed windows and all materials, adhesives, and sealants are low toxicity and safe for growing kids. Photographer credit: Irvin Serrano
