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.

An art and design aficionado enlisted us to imbue her newly acquired contemporary home with the handcrafted and locally-made, focusing on Asian or female artists and designers. With two children, it was critical that all pieces be comfortable, practical, and not too precious. Joyful color was incorporated throughout the home alongside highly custom millwork detailing.

Potrero Hill Duplex

  • A personal project for Principal Christine Lin, this ground up construction and furnishings project was a labor of love. Originally a small, dark, nondescript single family home, Christine and her husband endured a lengthy permitting process to add 3000 sq ft and a housing unit by designing a duplex home in collaboration with John Lum Architecture. Her family resides in the top two floors where natural light and San Francisco Bay views abound. Throughout, treasured vintage pieces commingle with contemporary and custom furnishings and lighting to create a comfortable family home.

San Anselmo Contemporary

We created a serene retreat for an art collector/consultant with a love for the Sir Thomas Conran aesthetic. This sprawling one-level home on a 3/4 acre lot was completely renovated and designed with simplicity in mind, opening the public spaces to the outdoors. Comfort and practicality were top of mind for this family with four children.


SAN ANSELMO CONTEMPORARY

This comprehensive renovation and furnishings project transforms a sprawling single-level residence into a sophisticated sanctuary for our art collector/consultant client. Drawing inspiration from Sir Terence Conran's design philosophy, the project seamlessly merges simplicity with functionality across its generous 3/4-acre setting. The reimagined public spaces now flow effortlessly into the outdoor environment, while thoughtfully curated interiors balance the client's sensibilities with the practical needs of her children. The result is a testament to mindful design—where refined aesthetics and family living coexist in perfect harmony.

Dolores Heights Modern

A family with two young children found their dream home location in Dolores Heights. While it was renovated not too long ago, additional work was needed on the interiors to improve its functionality for their needs as well as have the design feel like home for them. We updated finishes and lighting, created new millwork moments for functional storage and rethought the space planning of the main floor.

Atherton Estate

An eclectic Atherton Estate designed by Form + Field, a San Francisco-based interior design firm.

Living room with tan furniture, black piano, and a yellow wall tapestry

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

Donner Lake Cabin Bunk Room

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.
