Maybeck Maybe? in the Upper Haight
Completed: 2025

A foggy lineage (Maybeck, maybe?) and a whole lot of charm—this early 1900s home came with history, patina, and not enough bathrooms. In 2021, we carved a primary suite out of the attic, threading a staircase through the house like a and tucking an en suite bath right beneath it. Dormers now punctuate the top floor like little exclamation points, bringing in the kind of California light that makes you forget about ceiling heights. Built-ins galore, soft lighting throughout.

The client surfs, loves the coast, and wanted a space that felt like a deep exhale after a long drive up Highway 1—so we kept things quiet, breezy, and slightly sun-faded upstairs, while letting the historic architecture below stay just the way it likes to be: moody, grounded, and maintaining its historical charm.
