Vallejo Street 

Nestled in the heart of Telegraph Hill, this home had immense potential waiting to be unlocked. The homeowners, French natives, envisioned a space that seamlessly balanced luxury and comfort—elevated for entertaining yet practical for family life.

We focused on the sunroom—a breathtaking space with abundant natural light and panoramic city views, including the iconic Transamerica Pyramid which had become an afterthought. Our transformative design featured custom built-in banquettes that maximized both function and aesthetics, turning the sunroom into a cozy, light-filled retreat and a favorite gathering space for the family.
