When a home has built-in, bygone charm, far be it for a renovation to get in the way. That’s what Gina Gutierrez of Gina Rachelle Design and Ariel Richardson of ASR Design Studio thought when they met the owners of this San Francisco property.
“This home was built in 1907, and had historic details like wainscoting, high ceilings, and white paneling,” Gutierrez says. “It also had lots of windows that let plenty of light into the home.”
The owners had lived in San Francisco for over a decade when they called Gutierrez and Richardson for help, and they envisioned this Bernal Heights address as the place where they would eventually start a family. The couple wanted to hold onto its longstanding charms, but hoped to integrate that history into a modern design of striking yet approachable style. And when it came to their laundry room, they didn’t want the promise of good looks to end there.
