A warm renovation in Pacific Heights

Posted on Fri, 27 Sep 2024 by midcenturyjo

Located in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights, this renovated 1920s family home blends modern comfort with timeless design. Studio Plow has transformed the 4,142 sq ft space into a warm, inviting refuge. Rich textures, earthy tones and custom art pieces were incorporated to reflect the client’s love for fashion, art and Mexican heritage. The design creates a cozy yet expressive environment, serving the young family’s needs while celebrating the client’s cultural identity and personal vision.

The clients envisioned a welcoming home where family, friends, and neighbours could easily gather. This vision influenced the design approach emphasizing preservation over expansion. The Edwardian exterior was celebrated and the interiors were reimagined to accommodate a growing family of five. The home’s charm was maintained while new elements, like soft hues and layered finishes, were seamlessly integrated. Light timber accents and an earthy palette create a relaxed atmosphere, focusing on enhancing garden connections and maximizing natural light. Elonera House by Melbourne-based Studio Doherty.

Surrounded by lush gardens, the house features repurposed materials like recycled terracotta tiles, evoking a Tuscan villa. Custom furniture blends with vintage finds, including 1950s lamps by Audoux Minet. Heirlooms, travel treasures, a beehive, and vegetable gardens infuse the space with a spirit of cooking, creativity, and play.
