Noe Valley Edwardian

A family with two young children required help in updating their classic San Francisco Edwardian to fit their lifestyle while honoring its character. A primary focus was on sustainability - refurbishing great pieces that the client already owned and introducing timeless vintage furnishings and materials that patina well with age. The kitchen and bathrooms were remodeled and the living spaces were reconfigured for increased functionality and liveability.

ATHERTON ESTATE

A multi-generational family needed a refresh for their holiday home in Atherton, California. Last updated almost 30 years ago, the historic Tudor was renovated and furnished throughout to create a welcoming home for the owner’s adult children and young grandchildren.

Respecting the architecture and the varying style preferences of the extended family, we blended traditional and modern styles seamlessly throughout the home. Spaces were reconfigured to reflect the needs of the younger generations - turning the home theater into a guest room, the formal living room into the media room, and the sunroom into the play room.

Donner Lake Cabin

ALL PROJECTS

DONNER LAKE CABIN

A couple based in San Francisco wanted to invest in their beloved Tahoe cabin so that they could enjoy it for years to come. The goal was to strike a balance between keeping the character of the house and leaning into a modern style. We took inspiration from Scandinavian and Japanese design and mixed in a nostalgic 70s summer camp vibe with the color and material palette. The house needed to sleep more people so we added a bedroom suite, a bunk room, and a bathroom, in addition to creating a new mudroom for ski and snow gear.

SAN FRANCISCO EICHLER

This redux project took our clients’ kitchen and breakfast nook back to their 1960s Eichler roots. As art and design aficionados in life and work, and avid cooks at home, we designed a highly functional, yet artful, kitchen with a contemporary take on mid-century design. Beloved pieces including a Paul McCobb cabinet, Frank Gehry chairs, and artwork collected from friends were integrated into the design to create a space full of personality and character.

Monochromatic deep blue-green kitchenette with gray stone, dark wood finishes, and black appliances. A floating wooden peg dish rack is built-into the wall surrounded by vertical blue tiles.

NOPA JEWEL BOX

Every now and then, we take on a smaller project with clients who are super fans of Form + Field, entrusting our team to exercise their creativity and produce a design that pushed their boundaries, which ultimately led to a space they love. With an affinity for entertaining, they desired to create a welcoming atmosphere for guests. Although a wall dividing the entryway and kitchen posed initial spatial constraints, we opened the area to create a seamless flow; maximizing the space and functionality of their jewel box kitchen. To marry the couple's favorite colors (blue and green), we designed custom wood cabinetry finished in a deep muted pine green with blue undertones to frame the kitchen; beautifully complementing the custom walnut wooden fixtures found throughout the intimate space.
