SF Design Build was hired to remodel this 1800's cottage in the Mission District of San Francisco. The entire structure was re-built from foundation to roof.

The exterior respects the original structure, with modern and refined updates. Inside the concrete and pine floors, white cabinets and walls with carefully placed dark accent paint, combine to create a spacious yet cozy feeling which is unexpected given the small footprint!

Worth noting is the beautiful original window we brought back to life, as seen in the bedroom photos.

Modern home with Exterior, Wood Siding Material, House Building Type, and Shingles Roof Material. The existing cottage was so run down and neglected it was not livable. The new exterior follows the existing form of the structure with all new building materials for a fresh and timeless look. Photo of 21st Street Cottage RemodelView Photos
