| Project: Corbett-Jones Residence in San Francisco |
|
| Design Challenges: |
- Transform a modest home with small rooms and low light to optimize light and provide bigger spaces while maintaining privacy and mask view of neighbor's house.
- Accommodate two grand pianos and a teaching space, while reserving the privacy of the house.

| Summary: |
|
|
Owner's initial request was simply to remove a wall between kitchen and
breakfast nook and rearrange the appliances. Solution included pushing
out an exterior wall five feet, demolishing an interior wall and replacing
a tight, dangerous stairway. We repositioned the windows and chose materials
for the spaces that would allow light to travel across and through the house.
A veneer plaster wall threads its way through the informal dining area, bar,
kitchen, stair landing and then down the stairway to continue the flow
throughout these rooms. In the bathroom, a large window of opaque glass
provides privacy while allowing in the maximum amount of light. The project
was featured in Sunset Magazine.
