The New Contemporary Design of Old Bernal House in San Fransisco

The Old Bernal House is one of the oldest houses in San Francisco’s Bernal Heights neighborhood. Built in 1860, this cottage house sat in broken for years. So the house was redesigned to be modern but still keeping the rustic charm of the original building.

The expanding house is the ten-foot wide wing comprises a garage, bedroom suite, and two studies. The roof and upper floor in the center of the house was cut away to create a central light core. This action results in abundant natural light to pass through flooded the kitchen and the living room. The interior become light and spacious because of the windows and over-sized sliding doors. The open feel effect is also created by thin metal handrails, exposed ceiling joists, and cantilevered wood stair treads. Thanks to Feldman Architecture who has designed this small and dark cottage become a modern contemporary house.
