“This romantic San Francisco town house, bathed in pale pinks and gossamer blues, belongs to an adventurous couple who live not far outside the city. Based on conversations with them, the fanciful conceit for our design was that this is a place where the husband comes to visit his wife in her private lair. As such, the décor falls decidedly on the feminine side. Vive la difference, vive l’amour!”

Light filled interiors layered with colour and texture are the key to this renovation. Dark and heavy rooms were transformed into a lively family home, contemporary and charming. The ultimate luxury is the wine room divided from the living space by glass and steel walls. To think it was once a children’s playroom, now an adult’s playroom perhaps.
