After: The light-filled primary bedroom features a bed, side tables, desk, shelf, console, and bookcase by designer Abigail Turin of Kallos Turin.

The bed, bookshelf, and more furniture in the bedroom is by Abigail Turin.

The primary bathroom is a recreation of what Peter and Abigail had in Tokyo, particularly a tub that allows one to preset and maintain a desired temperature.

The circa-1917 home Abigail and Peter purchased in Washington's Cleveland Park neighborhood came with a double lot and a pool, with a meadow occupying a previous pool location.

"In my own style, I tend to be monochromatic, minimalist, and midcentury-modern inspired," says Abigail.

You would be hard pressed to find an issue of Dwell without a Bertoia barstool or chair in it. Launched in 1952, the industrial-strength steel seat is a modern classic without drawing too much attention to itself. $747

The existing bones of the rental home were so great, Abigail felt, that there wasn't much that needed to be done to make it feel homey and her own.

Interior designer Abigail Marcelo Horace started Casa Marcelo just before the pandemic hit, but has found it to be a bustling time for her new business.

The exposed wood beams and rafters were an instant draw for Abigail, who saw the rental property when it had only been on the market for a day. "I felt so lucky!" she recalls.

"The girls use it all the time," Stubb says. "There are ropes tied to it and they climb the rope ladder or use a swing to climb down into the adjacent ravine. Abigail plays house and makes food with mud and leaves."

"I see Casa Marcelo as the start of my legacy and hope to show my family how you can break away from the traditional workforce," explains Abigail of her hopes and trajectory for the future.

Thanks to a contemporary interior that she’s been updating for a decade, modern architect Abigail Turin has learned to love her traditional 1925 San Francisco home. Rather than indulge her impulse and strip away the home’s traditional flourishes, Turin embraced the dark in her striking living room—the deep paint is Le Corbusier’s 4320J from Les Couleurs Suisse. An iconic Arco lamp by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos, Charles sofas by Antonio Citterio for B&B Italia, an Extra Big Shadow floor lamp by Marcel Wanders for Cappellini, and a painting over the marble fireplace by Martin Barré shed a little light.

"More than aesthetic, I wanted this space to be functional, so I brought in cork boards and white boards near my desk to be able to pin up inspiration and draw out to-do lists and reminders," says Abigail.

After moving four times in the span of five years (twice in New York City, and then twice in Connecticut, where they now live), Abigail says that she and her husband have really honed their eye for what they eventually want in their permanent home—such as exposed beams.

To outfit the home, Abigail only wanted to spend about $3,000, but went slightly over so that she could create an effective, functional home office for her and her husband—an essential when the pandemic required them both to work from home.
