In the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, a hippie boardinghouse once run by an elderly lesbian minister is now a family home remade with a warmed-up modernism and the restrained inflections of Norwegian design. Note double-height living area is spanned by a bridge made of original flooring from the attic.


A glass doorway framed in Douglas fir. Behind bed is an exposed chimney. Polycarbonate panels running along the top of the walls admit light into the hallway, and a glass doorway creates a feeling of openness in the master bedroom.

Salvaged lumber was glued together to form the butcher-block treads of the parlor staircase; chips and nail holes were left exposed. The railing is made of shower-door glass and industrial hardware.
