A renovation of an 1860’s brick San Francisco warehouse, the original 3,200 sq.ft. unit was oddly laid-out, with the entrance sequence taking one through the kitchen, amongst other quirks.
The apartment was stripped to the studs and the layout massaged to create a more cohesive and contemporary design. The roof was reconstructed, utilizing the old-growth lumber for interior doors. The rooftop garden was expanded to encompass the entire apartment footprint, featuring additions like a koi pond, bocce court, hot tub, and two fire pits.
While elements of the building’s history are preserved, such as exposed brick, beams, and casement windows, the interior of the home now exudes a more upscale ambiance, fitting for its prestigious neighborhood. Designed with ample space for relaxation and hosting guests, the interior boasts a spacious great room where living and dining areas seamlessly merge. Thoughtfully crafted custom millwork hides built-in storage, maintaining an uncluttered feel and showcasing the meticulous attention to detail evident throughout the residence.
