This post is somewhat of a departure for me as there are no interior glam shots. Well actually there are interior glam shots, but the designer has exerted copyright control over the photos. But, that's OKAY because the real scoop has nothing to do with the designer aesthetics or the resulting ultramodern decor.

This is a renovation story that pulls back the curtain giving a rare glimpse into what happens when a developer or in this instance, a group of developers get caught allegedly committing a dizzying array of building violations.

2820 Scott St, Cow Hollow

Grand Entry during 2006 renovations
Currently featuring 7 bedrooms and 11 baths, marble stairs, 7 fireplaces, a Tiffany glass skylight, 5 marble terraces, 6 bronze balconies and an elevator.

16K square foot historically significant Cow Hollow Italianate c. 1905. Once known as the Pink Palace due to its roseate palette, a color chosen by its original owners.

It remained pink until 2004 when the "fixer" mansion sold and underwent extensive interior renovations. In 2008, the property was chosen as the San Francisco Decorator Showcase house. The completed home represented the work of 30 local designers, each of whom was assigned to a small part of the home.

Subsequent to a 1951 sale the Pink Palace was transformed into a grand 23 room “residence club”. With its panoramic Bay views and ornate original details, it drew a colorful cross section of wealthy residents who returned often to attend legendary cocktail parties.

Harrison Street House in the Mission Blending the Old + the New

Courtyard entry (photo by Joe Fletcher)
Noted by the Architect of Record Ryan Liedner, the project was, "Conceived as a home in two parts, the more private functions of the house take place in the newly built 2-story structure at the rear of the lot, while opposite the courtyard, a remodeled front building is used for more social functions and gatherings."

Liedner further noted that, "Drawing on the courtyard-house typology, the project centers around an interior garden, which is the first space one experiences when entering from the street."

Regarding the new structure at the back of the property, Liedner indicated that, "While maintaining a compact footprint, the new house has an open kitchen/living room, half bath and garage on the ground floor, and 2 bedrooms and 1 bath upstairs."

I love what Liedner did here, blending the old with the new. I wanted to us the word "seamless", but it didn't seem to apply here. What does apply though, is a repurposing + new construction project that is architecturally handsome and immensely livable.

Bravo!
