Warehouse Loft into Private Residence by Garcia Tamjidi

This interesting private residence project is a nice transformation design projected by Garcia Tamjidi from its previous "warehouse loft" located in the city of San Francisco.

The loft maximizes natural light provided by an exterior light court. Designed as a living gallery space, the architecture capitalizes on the openness and optimizes generous display surfaces. The interior stair connecting the ground floor from the loft becomes an artistic focal point and transition from the more public to the more private areas.

Quinta da Serra Restoration by Adam Richards Architects

Adam Richards Architects projected the restoration and conversion of a traditional stone Quinta located in the mountains of southern Portugal. To meet the client’s needs, the home restoration project involves the radical re-ordering of the building’s internal spaces. The house has been comprehensively rebuild and extended, with exterior stonework sensitively restored, and married to a dramatic contemporary design that opens it up to the light an the landscape.



Two narrow strips forming a cross in plan, containing functional elements such as stairs and kitchen equipment, overlap each other across three storeys within the stone box of the main house. These define different sized spaces that contain the principal activities, for living, dining, cooking and reading.

Potrero Hill Residence by Aidlin Darling Design

A mundane 1950's developer house was transformed into a light-filled modern home in this 1,650 square foot urban renovation. Mute stucco facades were opened up with expanses of glass, capturing panoramic views to the west, and intimate gardens to the east. A sculptural interplay of material, light and space extends the perceived and implied volume of the building, making a small home feel spacious and spatially dynamic.



























The picture above shown the Potrero Hill residence image after renovation and transformed into a light-filled modern home, this nice Potrero Hill Residence was designed by Aidlin Darling Design.

Open Box House, Contemporary Family House by Feldman Architecture

Designed by Feldman Architecture, This Open Box House transformed a run-of-the-mill 1950s vinyl-clad box into a contemporary family house that takes advantages of its site. The original house was detached on three sides and perched on a lot with panoramic views, but its small windows and small dark rooms ignored the hillside location. The unfinished lower floor made no effort to connect to the large flat yard.



















The architect knocked out interior walls to create a large open plan that centers on a sleek new kitchen and installed floor-to-ceiling windows that offer stunning downtown views. To the previously unfinished lower floor the architect added a new entry, a guest suite, and a large family room whose glass walls roll away to connect the inside to a newly landscaped deck and yard.



















The clean modern house is warmed by the generous use of dark stained wood and rich tiles, and by its strong connection to lush landscaping. Steel and aluminium accent and details contribute its clean design.
