The project involved
extensive remodeling, structural upgrade, and conversion of the
downstairs basement into a separate apartment. The home is a typical San
Francisco Queen Ann style row house, which was originally built in 1900
and had been in the owner's family since 1955. The objective was to open
up the floorplan to incorporate a larger kitchen and improve the flow of
the house to accommodate social gatherings and entertaining. The
upstairs in the original house was reached via steep, narrow stairs off
the kitchen and had no plumbing. It was redesigned to create functional
rooms with greater storage. A bathroom was added as well as a large
dressing area with under-the-counter washer and dryer.
