Guest bedroom featuring custom photo mural of San Francisco's "Cupid's Span" by Claes Oldenburg, framed by the Bay Bridge. Graphic black and white design elements and artwork, combined with reclaimed wood accents make this a clean and comfy retreat for out of town guests and family. Photos, including the mural photo, by Dean J. Biriny.

The semi-open kitchen came about as a ‘via-media’ to accommodate the lady of the house’s wish for privacy and the husband’s for an open kitchen. The wall dividing the living room and the kitchen was torn down and replaced with a wooden unit with a mix of some open shelves and some with louvred screens, to allow some visual connection without invading the kitchen’s privacy.

Wrought-iron furniture in turquoise blue and a patterned floor (replicated from the lobby) make for a pretty Mediterranean-inspired balcony, completed by the ceiling-height vertical garden. The plants bring a much-needed splash of living nature that draws attention away from the urban landscape.
