San Francisco Apartment

Architect Andrew Skurman reconfigured the floor plan of this 6000-square foot San Francisco residence beautifully to create a circular flow for living and entertaining. The owners appreciate both the classic decorative arts and contemporary collecting and have a couture approach to life: from the art placement to the faux bois, marble and tortoiseshell finishes, from the Fortuny-clad powder room to the bleached oak in the kitchen, perfection was paramount.
