Garden Room

Typology: Addition | Year: 2025 | Area: 120 sf | Location: San Francisco, CA | Status: Under Construction


As the owner of a 1907 Victorian located at the crossroads between Noe Valley, the Mission, Bernal Heights and Glen Park, an artist and landscape architect desired a room of her own - distinct from her husband’s workspace on the other side of the wall - in which to focus on her craft. The rear of the little existing house had been rather rudely boxed in by recent neighboring additions, cutting off much of the access to natural daylight at the ground floor.

Drawing on historic elements in the existing house, this very small room addition breathes new life into the home’s living areas by reconnecting it to the sun, sky, and garden beyond.
