1027 Bryant Street

This is a renovation of a uniquely blended 1898 Colonial Revival/Queen Anne/Craftsman style home. FGY Architects consulted historic photographs and documents to replace the front façade elements and return the home to its former relationship with the street. The historic turret on the northwest corner, roof and front porch gable were reinstated, while the roofing, fenestration, and siding have been repaired or replaced.

Historic Renovation Award: Kingscote Gardens

This elegant 1917 Italian Renaissance-style building, constructed as housing for faculty and staff, suffered severe damage in the Loma Prieta Earthquake and the cost of retrofitting prohibited continued residential usage. Architectural Resources Group of San Francisco was given the task of converting it for offices. Two main interior features were preserved: the curved glass sunroom and main staircase. The historic exterior was repainted.
