Levy Art + Architecture
As you approach this home, the façade that appears to be solid is revealed as a series of layers. A combed stone outer cladding gives way to a smooth plaster layer that, in turn, sits atop a shear layer of windows and taught corner glass. The space of the home is similar. A slow reveal is based on an up-and-over movement across the site, and there’s an idea of two structures, front and back. Entering at the ground level, you ascend two broad steps to a central platform.
This “space between” houses the central stair. The stair accesses a reverse plan: entry and gymnasium below, bedrooms between, living spaces atop. It’s capped by a roof deck. Materials define interior spaces. Maple slats and brass clad walls work together to define the central space, filter and reflect light. Each side of the structure has its own character and its own view, the front facing east defined by morning light and downtown views through mitered corner windows. The back faces west, the sunset and Twin Peaks viewed through operable glass walls that expand the floor area for indoor-outdoor functions. Two areas are joined by a central spine and reveal themselves through time.

Refined Interiors
This four-story beautiful home was a complete gut renovation, and we even added a lower level with a game room and a guest bedroom suite. The new kitchen opens to a comfortable family room and gorgeous dining area.
The top floor of the house is known as The Crow’s Nest. With views of the Pacific Ocean and the Golden Gate Bridge, the room pays homage to both Beantown (Boston) and the City by the Bay. A picture wall captures elements of both and includes a needlepoint ship, a New England lighthouse and an oil painting of a family patriarch, commissioned in 1824.
The lower level game room also houses items that the homeowners have collected and cherished throughout their lives and even features a mural-sized photograph taken by the client while on an African safari. The clients were over the moon when we came up with this unique way to celebrate & display their incredible experience.

Village West Design
This classic Victorian townhouse sits atop a busy corner in Dolores Heights. Inside, this 3BR/2BA private home introduces a beautiful collection of Mid-Century Modern furniture while maintaining 19th Century architectural elements, including two fireplaces. Homeowners embraced the designer’s recommendations for bold colors and custom furniture to complement the unusually shaped spaces.
Nearly every room sports either a bay window or a turret, enhanced by elegant light fixtures and ceiling fans. The layout was only altered slightly to solve modern-day needs, like the introduction of a walk-in closet as part of the Main Bedroom suite. The bathrooms and kitchen have been fully updated in all-white color schemes with natural marble counters and tile. New Deep Walnut hardwood floors run throughout, while eclectic artwork complements the furniture and views toward downtown San Francisco.

Studio Heimat
Eco Terreno draws from the bucolic charm of the Sonoma wine country, paired with San Francisco’s vibrancy and cultural diversity. As you walk by 140 Columbus Ave, the soft glow from jewel-like sconces beckons you in, to enjoy a delightful wine pairing. Thoughtful finishes, custom murals, and impeccable hospitality will keep you coming back.
Upon descent into the Lyon & Swan Supper club, the energy shifts into a dim space, with a sleek and provocative atmosphere. In the stairwell, you walk next to an earthy mural by Rafael Arana that sits behind a brass curtain to allow for a sensory experience. The exposed concrete walls and vault light the sidewalk above, which helps maintain the sense of place and history. A night of costume and fantastic debauchery is depicted in a triptych by Serge Gay Jr., adorning the wall adjacent to the stage. This hallowed space was once Mona’s the west coast’s first lesbian bar, then Jelly Roll Morton’s (the father of Jazz) black and tan club, a safe place for biracial couple to be, and finally The Purple Onion comedy club, where notable entertainers got their start or performed including: Bob Newhart, Lenny Bruce, Woody Allen and Maya Angelou.
