Originally a small two story, shingled bungalow set amidst an urban forest, this project involved major remodeling and enlargement of the interior spaces, and addition of two wings in order to clarify the interior layout and to add needed space, especially in the main living spaces. The small site and desire to not over-build the footprint, required a heroic effort to install a full basement under the existing house. Photos by David Simone.

This 3,500 SF "contemporary craftsman" utilizes horizontal lines and wide overhangs to accentuate the design. A masonry siding base, with stucco above, surrounding the entire house serves to anchor the house to its sloping site. The interior is very open with spaces flowing together, opening up long interior vistas and allowing strong connections to exterior patio spaces. Fine detailing and use of high quality materials is found throughout the home. Photos by David Simone

Kitchen - 1950s kitchen idea in San Francisco

Potting mixes for container gardens need to drain freely, but still retain moisture. My base potting soil mix contains (clockwise from upper left) coarse builder's sand, high-quality organic compost or worm castings, coconut coir, and small lava rock. I supplement this with additional compost, fresh worm castings, and organic soil amendments, with the amounts varying depending on what I'm planting. Photo by Steve Masley
