A Fresh Take on Historic Design
The sheer beauty of San Francisco remains unchanged, from the grandeur of the Golden Gate Bridge to the splendor of the fog-covered hills. Nob Hill, an upscale neighborhood in the city, is home to many renowned landmarks and famous hotels. Pacific Heights’ row of grand mansions are all designed to maximize views of the San Francisco Bay and Palace of Fine Arts and Exclusive Sea Cliff allows stunning ocean views.
Neoclassical Architecture in Nob Hill, SF
Nob Hill is known for its luxurious hotels and historic mansions. The Ritz Carlton San Francisco combines both in a luxurious neoclassical structure that features seventeen ionic columns supporting an attic of winged hourglasses and lion’s heads. In a triangular pediment above the hotel’s entrance lies a tableau of nine terracotta figures sculpted under a large angelic figure.
Striking Architecture in Cow Hollow, SF
Cow Hollow is home to rows of beautiful Edwardian and Victorian homes. The Art House, designed by one of the best architects in San Francisco, is a statement in contrast to the neighboring homes. The exterior is a striking facade of concrete and wooden louvers with an all-glass backside - an elegant double personality. The house also features an incredible garden featuring a dining and entertaining area, a lanai, and a secluded in-ground spa.
Mediterranean Architecture in Sea Cliff, SF
The exclusive Sea Cliff neighborhood is known for its large Mediterranean homes. A talented San Francisco architect reimagined a historic home with a complex triangular geometry into a modernized Mediterranean masterpiece. The home’s closed rooms were opened up to create a free-flowing space, cheered up by expansive ocean views. A sculptural staircase framed by a series of arches, added in the remodeling, creates a visual focal point washed by soft light from steel windows.
