Instagram post 2193190932221191165_4430677367 A formerly faded neoclassical 1,800-square-foot basement ballroom, reimagined by San Francisco’s Applegate Tran Interiors as a dark and moody nightclub-like lounge, was one of the most original and daring spaces at the 2019 San Francisco Decorator Showcase. Look for decorative tiles on the raised stage from Artistic Designs for Living, stone slabs and marble details from Da Vinci Marble, colorful ceramic vases by Roger Herman from Carpenters Workshop Gallery, a globular Uovo chandelier from Lasvit and an orange custom rug from Safar. Orange Wonderland wallpaper by Elitis, inset into several wall panels, is from De Sousa Hughes.

Instagram post 2191709303023858178_4430677367 At Virgin Hotel’s new SoMa outpost in San Francisco, expect great views toward Yerba Buena Gardens and an airline vibe: rooms can be pocketed off into work/sleep zones with curtains or sliding doors. Best of all, if your work keeps you inside, hunkered down in your ergonomic adjustable bed, the smart, red and retro Italian Smeg refrigerator and racks surrounding it are all so well stocked they’re as good as the corner store. But there’s press-button room service too. . . . . . . . . . . #spacesmag #design #hoteldesign #designinspo #designinspiration #design #hotels #architecture #architecturephotography #hoteltonight #dreamroom #dreamstay #bayarea #hotel #hotelroom #sanfrancisco #visitsanfrancisco #virginhotels

Instagram post 2185194822508644344_4430677367 The newest issue of @spacesmag is on the stands! Roots are the recurring theme in this issue. A 50-year old Napa winery now has a modern version of itself in the Alexander Valley. Different to look at but with a deep sense of sustainability that is the winery’s hallmark, it is designed by @piechota_architecture, whose work appears for the first time in SPACES. In Noe Valley, San Francisco design firm @siolstudios and architect Ross Levy transformed a dark Craftsman-style cottage into a light-filled modern space for a young family — without fully obliterating the original. Architect Chris Dorman, designer of the new @watershed.mv restaurant in Mill Valley, built himself a new hillside home in Tamalpais Valley that showcases space-enhancing tricks he gleaned from architects Adolf Loos, Frank Lloyd Wright and other "mentors." In the East Bay, architect Chad DeWitt uncovered a forgotten 1950s masterpiece and gave it new life, and south of San Jose, for a retired San Francisco couple, Aidlin Darling Design created a gorgeous modern retreat that respects the land and trees. In our Tableside column, read about @palette.sf, a new San Francisco dining hot spot that opened in place of a very old one. Our highlighted Maker is Rafael Arano, a young artist who became one of @kenfulk’s star muralists, working with ancient techniques. In Voices we learn how Catherine Bailey invigorated Sausalito ceramics factory @heathceramics, now over 60. In Focus, find the art of Burning Man, now approaching 50. In Rear Window, see how the history of San Francisco’s finger piers affected the growth of the @exploratorium — also 50. On the Rise shines a light on how obsolete structures are being revived as multi-experiential spaces, a legacy of 1960s communalism. Find all of this and more inside! . . . . . #spacesmag #design #homedesign #designinspo #designinspiration #home #architecture #architecturephotography #housetour #dreamhome #dreamhouse #bayarea #marin #marincounty #napa #marinhomes #sanfrancisco #winecountry #sonoma #bayareahomes #bayarea #winecountryliving
