Complete remodel of a historical Presidio Heights pueblo revival home—originally designed by Charles Whittlesey in 1908. Exterior façade was reskinned with historical colors but the original architectural details were left intact. Work included the excavation and expansion of the existing street level garage, seismic upgrades throughout, new interior stairs from the garage level, complete remodel of kitchen, baths, bedrooms, decks, gym, office, laundry, mudroom and the addition of two new skylights. New radiant flooring, electrical and plumbing installed throughout.

"Revival” implies a retread of an old idea—not our interests at Axis Mundi. So when renovating an 1840s Greek Revival brownstone, subversion was on our minds. The landmarked exterior remains unchanged, as does the residence’s unalterable 19-foot width. Inside, however, a pristine white space forms a backdrop for art by Warhol, Basquiat and Haring, as well as intriguing furnishings drawn from the continuum of modern design—pieces by Dalí and Gaudí, Patrick Naggar and Poltrona Frau, Armani and Versace. The architectural envelope references iconic 20th-century figures and genres: Jean Prouvé-like shutters in the kitchen, an industrial-chic bronze staircase and a ground-floor screen employing cast glass salvaged from Gio Ponti’s 1950s design for Alitalia’s Fifth Avenue showroom (paired with mercury mirror and set within a bronze grid). Unable to resist a bit of our usual wit, Greek allusions appear in a dining room fireplace that reimagines classicism in a contemporary fashion and lampshades that slyly recall the drapery of Greek sculpture.
