Marvelously Redecorated Old Cottage in San Francisco into Modern Living by Feldman Architecture
Who would have thought that an old cottage in San Francisco can be redecorated and it was turned into this gorgeous family home? And who is behind the old house restoration? It’s no other than Feldman Architecture. This beautiful family house was an old cottage which was built in 1860 and as a matter of fact this house is the oldest house in the city.
The architecture described this old house as “One of the oldest houses in San Francisco’s Bernal Heights neighborhood, this 1860?s cottage sat in disrepair for years. Feldman Architecture’s charge was to repair, expand and modernize the small, dark house while maintaining the rustic charm of the original building. To accomplish this, the firm kept the facade and envelope of the existing structure and added a contemporary, but unobtrusive, addition: a narrow, ten-foot-wide wing that contains a garage, bedroom suite and studio office spaces on two levels. The roof and upper floor in the center of the house were cut away to create a central light core that washes a stone wall and illuminates the kitchen and living room. Large new windows create a connection with the backyard. Careful mixing of rough stone and wood with clean glass and metal breathes new life into the once-neglected structure” To me it doesn’t even look anything near something old, it’s absolutely terrific, how about you?
