This major renovation of a modern chic style home in San Francisco’s Oceanview neighborhood was a transformation of an assemblage of traditional home into a  modern residence with sweeping bay views. Remick + Sessions provided both architecture and construction services for the project.

​

Because the street side appearance of the slope was required to be preserved, all work occurred behind and below the existing facades. The home enjoys countless sublime design details like custom built-ins, stylish wall coverings, smart accents. Thoughtful touches abound like a recessed metal hand railing over angled wood stairs, a glass floor window for lighting the wine cellar entrance below and the ipe deck's glass railing allowing you to be fully encompassed by sweeping views of the city and Oakland Hills while soaking in the outdoor spa. Primary suite's spa-like bathroom has heated glass tiled floors. Downstairs suite w/ built-ins, private deck, stunning views. Park-like backyard is a masterpiece of perennials & fruit trees. .

​

The new staircase is the thread that unifies all levels into a cohesive whole. Adjacent to a chiseled limestone wall at the core of the home, it soars four floors in a series of wide ellipses that opens onto each floor level.

​

The interior materials and furnishings were carefully chosen to bridge the clients’ differing tastes; his preference being contemporary while hers leans towards the traditional. The close collaboration between the architecture and interior design teams resulted in a warm and inviting living space that satisfies and uplifts the owners; it is a perfect blend of their tastes and interests.
