“One of the oldest houses in San Francisco’s Bernal Heights
neighborhood, this 1860′s cottage sat in disrepair for years. Feldman
Architecture’s charge was to repair, expand and modernize the small,
dark house while maintaining the rustic charm of the original building.
To accomplish this, the firm kept the facade and envelope of the
existing structure and added a contemporary, but unobtrusive, addition:
a narrow, ten-foot-wide wing that contains a garage, bedroom suite and
studio office spaces on two levels. The roof and upper floor in the
center of the house were cut away to create a central light core that
washes a stone wall and illuminates the kitchen and living room. Large
new windows create a connection with the backyard. Careful mixing of
rough stone and wood with clean glass and metal breathes new life into
the once-neglected structure”.
Feldman Architecture redecorated an old cottage in San Francisco and turned it into a beautiful family home.
