Noe Valley Perch: Architecture as a bridge from old to new
San Francisco, CA


An urban hillside home reimagined with light
This century-old residence in a dense neighborhood was ready for a transformation that honored its historic character, created more living space, and connected strongly to the landscape.
We raised the structure to add a garage and reworked the front façade in harmony with its Edwardian context. Stepped volumes at the back opened the home to dramatic views and natural light.






Layered movement and light
Daylight guides the experience of the home at every turn; through a skylit stair, along transom-lined sightlines, and across the shaded rear façade.












Where tradition and modernity meet
Thoughtfully balancing legacy and lifestyle, the design preserves the home’s historic street-facing presence with an airy, contemporary rear expansion.
