Studio Sarah Willmer Architecture
Bernal Heights
The renovation of this Victorian residence synthesizes the vernacular character and scale of the original cottage with the growing needs of a modern family. Expanding the house from its original 1,040 square feet to a still-modest 2,170 square feet, the design opens the home to the southern garden. The middle level, free of most demising walls, is dedicated to living/eating/cooking. Two bedrooms at the garden level seamlessly invite the light and garden in while the original attic space functions as a playroom.
