I have always been a fan of minimalism and clean modern design, so I clicked immediately with the owner who is from Denmark and appreciates the same aesthetic. Built in 1900, this hillside home was re-imagined and rebuilt in a Scandinavian-style with clean lines and designed to take advantage of the expansive city views. We wanted to create a juxtaposition between the existing wedding-cake façade and a crisp, minimal sensibility on the interior. All the interior and exterior walls are painted the same soft white color, and the lighting and bath tiles throughout continue the white-on-white minimalist theme. This house is not an original Victorian, as some people assume. The wedding cake facade is actually fake gingerbread ornamentation that was added during an earlier remodel in the ‘90s. The applied ornaments were not properly waterproofed, so it was causing mold inside the structure. However,even though it's not original, we liked how ornate and whimsical it is, so we decided to keep it and repair it as a counterpoint to the star interiors.
