The second floor living room has a large south facing bay window that spills natural light deep into the home. In this room, all walls and trim were painted dark gray and new wood floors are stained in a medium tone.

The living room opens to the dining and kitchen at the rear of the house, and looks straight through to the rear yard. The trim and bookcases that frame the opening match the existing features of the home.

The kitchen was opened up into an existing pantry space and reconfigured to create a light-filled, functional space perfect for cooking and entertaining.

A large opening was added to an existing load bearing wall so that the living and dining rooms feel more like one large space. In the dining area, the dark gray paint from the living room flows in to meet the bright white kitchen paint and create a fun and unexpected distinction between the two spaces.

A colorful half bath was added in what was an old laundry porch. New siding was installed along the rear facing side of this wall as an ode to what was once the existing rear wall of the home.

The new wall mounted sink matches the tub style and a half-height wall creates a functional ledge.

The kids play room is the most colorful room in the house. On the third floor, the existing doors were stripped to reveal the original wood and then painted to match the walls.

From SF Design Build

SF Design Build was hired to remodel this pre-earthquake Victorian home in the Mission District of San Francisco.

We opened up the floor plan to make it more functional for a busy family of four, while maintaining much of the existing victorian charm. We took special care to re-use or match many existing details such as hardwood floors, doors, windows, trim, and ceiling medallions. The creative home owners chose many fun design details such as the colorful powder room tiles and unique paint details in the dining room.

Worth noting is the "secret" garage door on the first floor. We rebuilt the existing ground floor bay window with a custom frame and garage door device so the home owners have a large three car garage behind what looks like the original facade.
