We retained and refurbished the front façade of this historically rated home from the early days of the Mission district while remaking the interior and back to reflect the new spirit of the Mission: young, playful, eclectic and open. This is a family home for a young family very much engaged with their city. Geometry and pattern take the place of historic ornament. Open spaces flow together and out to the back yard. A steel and glass staircase rises through the home, pulling light down from above.
