Noe Valley Victorian Revisted
A Victorian home is modernized and expanded to support contemporary living while retaining its historic character…

This project involved the strategic expansion of a century-old, single-story Victorian house in San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood.
To meet the needs of a growing family, we added approximately 1,000 square feet of new living space. Horizontal extensions at the rear created a larger living area, while vertical expansions added two bedrooms and a small study.
Central to the design is a skylit staircase connecting all three levels, seamlessly merging old and new. Carefully selected materials complement the existing structure while imparting a warm, contemporary ambiance.
The placement of windows maximizes panoramic views, and sustainable strategies such as fly ash concrete, FSC-certified lumber, and energy-efficient systems underscore the project's commitment to environmental responsibility.
