Scandinavia Comes To Mission Dolores, $3M
Author:Philip FerratoAn extraordinary renovation of a classic 1907 row house, this 1917 project by the San Francisco/Oslo based, globally-involved architecture firm Mork-Olnes has just come on the market– a 4-bed, 2-bath condominium that’s been extensively published to much acclaim.
Preserving the street front in an historic neighborhood was paramount. To create a modern home, the architects replaced the traditionally dark heart of the structure with a luminous atrium and opened up the once-cramped attic, flooding the space with filtered light.
The palette is simple– white walls and expanses of flooring and woodwork in the clearest Douglas Fir imaginable.
Visually simple volumes, beautifully detailed.
What We Love: The kitchen (at top and below) is a beautifully orchestrated assemblage of materials and finishes, with suspended open shelves cleverly crossing the window. Backsplash tiles by Heath, of course.
Upstairs in the once-cramped attic, a pair of bedrooms flank the open atrium and seating area– which converts to a screening area with motorized shades and a projector, thus addressing the age-old question of where to put the TV.
A deck off the dining area leads down to the leafy shared garden.
