COLE VALLEY HILLSIDE RESIDENCE

 Resting on the hillside of San Francisco’s Cole Valley, this residence is a revitalization of a 1930's home into a more relaxing, modern masterpiece. It sits at the end of a cul-de-sac where the first thing you see while approaching is an exceptional use of planked wood siding and black steel.

Old and new by Ilse Crawford

British designer and creative director Ilse Crawford has made a nice transformation of a historic Georgian building in Somerset, England. It’s in her now classic tradition of joining old and new, modern and emotional design.
