This San Francisco house was originally designed as a strong example of Mediterranean Revival style by architect Albert Farr. We both maintained and updated this classic home, embracing the material palette and architectural integrity.  Two rooms in particular were a departure from the original style.  The master suite did not capture the headlands and golden gate view.  We worked with San Francisco historic preservation to create a new bay at the rear to reorient the view.  There also was an indoor swimming pool under a steel atrium, which we demolished and excavated further to create a basketball court. The material choices and spatial arrangement of the remainder of the renovation embrace the existing architecture while updating the home to the 21st Century.
