Open Box 2 Home With White Oak Flooring

The San-Francisco based studio Feldman Architecture has designed this Open Box 2 House. Originally a “boxy 1940s stucco house, this now two story contemporary home is located in San Francisco, California, USA”.

This project involved modernising the home completely to something fresh and new. The original house was a series of small, dark rooms with a completely unfinished ground floor and little connection to the outdoors.The whole home had to be updated with the living space increased.

“The main living spaces were opened up to allow the small house to feel more spacious than its modest 2000sf size. Also, the unfinished space on the ground floor was converted to create a new entryway, bedroom, bathroom, and family room”.

Finishes such as Italian Oak cabinetry and round glass tiles were used to add texture. The flooring of the home is made up of white oak which really adds character and an elegance to the home. The flooring also seems to add a feeling of spaciousness which is further enhanced by the strong connection to the outdoors. Carefully placed windows and skylights are in place to maximise sunlight, garden views and privacy.
