This 1907 San Francisco home combines both locally coastal and travel-inspired elements, creating an updated and refreshing ambiance. 

The homeowners envisioned each room as a distinct tribute to their cherished travel destinations. Consequently, every space within the 8,000-10,000 square-foot (743-929 square-meter) residence exudes a unique ambiance, seamlessly blending the essence of the chic vibe of a California bar, Thailand and Bali. By designing on a more intimate scale, the architecture team at SkB Architects crafted a home that embraces versatility, adapting effortlessly to accommodate family gatherings and serve as a workspace.

With its diverse terraces offering expansive views and the ability to effortlessly connect with the surrounding landscapes, this home truly encapsulates the essence of Bay Area living.

Preserving the home’s original walls and windows, the design team focused on enhancing the exterior hardscaping and undertaking a comprehensive overhaul of the interior aesthetics. The result is a harmonious integration of old and new, where the California vibe intertwines with the client’s favorite getaways.
