Revitalized Victorian | San Francisco CA

In early 2021, I began a kitchen remodel in a classic Victorian home in San Francisco’s Noe Valley. As we dug into the project, we uncovered the home’s remarkable past—it had survived the 1906 earthquake and once housed a group of German shipbuilders. Over the years, many of its original Victorian elements had been removed through basic renovations.

​

My clients and I shared a vision: to restore the home’s lost architectural charm while introducing personality through vibrant turquoise accents.

What began as a kitchen renovation evolved into a full-scale restoration. We reimagined the kitchen layout for modern function, transformed a former closet into a powder room, and redesigned an awkward bathroom into a stunning new primary bath—complete with a custom stained glass window inspired by the home’s history.

​

We completed the project in early 2023, two years after we began, bringing historic character and fresh vibrancy back into this special home.
