Petersen Verwers Residence
Mid-century modern architecture in California embodied an authenticity unencumbered by historical kitsch and evoked an optimism for the future, while taking advantage of the unique light and climate of the region. This extensive remodel of a 1962 tract house in San Francisco sought to maintain the mid-century spirit of the house, while adding a new level of refinement and grace. The layout and spatial flow through the existing house was already quite efficient. Without reconfiguring the interior layout extensively, carefully articulated modifications of the existing spaces and new interventions provide an unexpected sense of sophistication and opulence to the house, enhancing the inheren
Folsom Street Residential Laboratory
This urban loft space for a single man occupies the entire top floor of a 1920’s concrete frame structure in San Francisco’s Soma neighborhood. The space, essentially a “toolbox” for the owner’s urban lifestyle, is unique in its adaptation of commercial and institutional materials and components to residential functions. Off the shelf laboratory cabinet modules form the kitchen, a customized computer floor forms the sleeping platform, and a precision aluminum framing system creates the enclosure and adaptable framework for an “electronics laboratory”. In some cases, these modular components were customized to specific client requirements. The client’s lifestyle is very utilitarian, blend
Sea Ranch Residence
This house, designed for a Danish consul and his wife, was built as a weekend getaway and a venue for informal entertaining. Sited on a sloping lot which opens to spectacular downslope views over the Pacific Ocean, the house gently backs into an existing grove of redwood trees, thus providing intimacy and a “deep woods” feeling toward the rear of the house. The design embodies a Nordic sensibility to light, material, and lifestyle, while respecting the architectural forms and rustic materiality characteristic of the famed Sea Ranch design tradition. The primary living areas of the house are oriented toward the coast, and the design maximizes panoramic views to the ocean by providing a cle
Copenhagen Apartment Remodel
This extensive remodel resulted in a refined update of an older apartment within a historical Copenhagen building from the 1800s. The owners’ program was primarily focused on the reconfiguration of two existing spaces into a new master bathroom, along with the remodeling of a half bath into a new powder room / laundry room. The latter space was nearly unusable before its transformation into a highly efficient, bright space with plenty of built-in storage cabinetry. The design employed both direct and indirect lighting sources, creating uplifting and calming spaces. All components and materials used in the project, including plumbing fixtures and lighting, are of the highest quality. All
Ordrup House Renovation
This project for a complete renovation of a very large 1970’s home on the outskirts of Copenhagen features reconfiguration of much of the home’s primary living space to reflect the needs and modern lifestyle of the owners. An older kitchen space was gutted and opened to include a new dining room. Bathrooms were likewise completely transformed. Several custom-designed elements were incorporated into the scheme, including a set of large mahogany pivoting doors between the entry and dining room. Todd Verwers Architects was subsequently commissioned to redesign the property’s pool and pool terrace for the same owners. See ht*****************com for a complete profile of this project.
Palm Springs Residence
This extensive remodeling project resulted in a dramatic transformation of a 1970's single-story courtyard townhouse. Unique to Palm Springs, the design is reflective of the owners' passion for 1940's Streamline Moderne interior design and Hollywood glamour, and provides a showcase for the owners' furnishings from that period. The design features built-in furniture and cabinetry and extensive custom detailing, all tailored to specific functional requirements from the owners. The material and finish pallet is minimal, resulting in an calm and elegant interior environment. To enhance the psychological and physical connection between interior and courtyard spaces, existing door openings to
