San Carlos Street : San Francisco, CA:
A small living room and cramped kitchen were gutted and the dividing wall was removed in order to make a large, less formal living space, perfect for entertaining and daily living. A small porch at the back of the kitchen was incorporated into the interior space, which helped connect the kitchen to the deck and the rear yard with the addition of french doors and windows.

Pearl Street : San Francisco, CA:
A typical storage room behind the garage was transformed into a flexible space to be used as either a master bedroom, a home office, a family room or a separate studio apartment. An extensive excavation was completed and major retaining of the existing tiny rear yard was required. A bridge to the yard was added, allowing access from the kitchen above.

17th Avenue, San Francisco, CA:
The existing breakfast room was cut off from the garden by a poorly designed powder room and a small stair which turned its back to the yard. We redesigned the bathroom to accommodate a shower, added french doors out to a new, generously proportioned deck and created a flaring stair to grade that embraces the garden and connects it to he living level above.
