Dashiell Hammett

san francisco

A serene retreat nestled in the trees, this late 1960s apartment underwent a transformative change. Small rooms, kitchen, and baths were completely replaced, along with the residence’s outdated attitude. Removing interior walls opened the kitchen to the common areas, while thoughtfully curated surfaces, textures, and lighting introduced a fresh lightness and modern posture to the space.
