This project encompassed a remodel and a small addition to an existing two-story family home in San Francisco’s Cow Hollow neighborhood. Originally designed in 1917 by architect Elizabeth Austin – one of a small handful of American women architects working in the early 20th century – it was an honor to be tasked with protecting her vision while ushering the residence into a new époque. Cow Hollow’s original design displays many elements of the Arts and Crafts movement as well as the First Bay Tradition, a local adaptation of the popular East Coast shingle style.
