Click here to view the full photogallery. Photos: Peter Bennetts and Shania Shegyden/Kavellaris Urban Design When Kavellaris Urban Design was retained to produce a modern house for a historic Victorian neighborhood in Melbourne, Australia, the architects sought a unique solution to integrating the new home into its old-world environs. Instead of mimicking the surrounding buildings in form, the team decided on a perforated …

Click the image above to view the full photogallery. It's nice that real estate agents are getting better about recognizing Bay Area architects. And so, voila! we have a William Wurster-inspired house on the Presidio Wall. The 4-bed, 3-bath house, built in 1948, asking $2,995,000, having been sold to the current owners for $2,900,000 in July, 2009. Maybe they bought it thinking …

Architect and author James Dixon released his new HD videos today, a series on the varied styles of San Francisco architecture. High-concept slide shows with excellent photography and attention to detail, there are eleven of them, covering just about everything including Eichler and the now-in-the-doghouse Post-Modernism. Well, maybe not in James' doghouse. Completely SFW. No sound, voice-overs or canned synth, but …

[Every so often, we'll post about a property that's not for sale but a nevertheless interesting part of the San Francisco's built environment.-PF] The Russell House, the only house by Erich Mendelsohn in the Bay Area, built between 1947 and 1952 by the late Madeleine Haas Russell on the site of her childhood home in Presidio Heights. But you might not notice- …

[Via Doug Letterman] More on the Tonga Room, the issue — and bar! — that just won't die. Yesterday the still-young Historic Preservation Commission officially took up the problem of the "historic" bar, which the Fairmont Hotel owners are planning on kicking to the curb amid construction of a new residential tower in place of the existing hotel tower. A full assessment …

Check it out: it's been a while since we've heard anything from Prado Group on 1401 California, the mixed-use replacement for Nob Hill's Cala Foods. The developer posted some blurry elevations on the 107-unit (give or take) development's website this past September — and then nothing. BAR Architects to the rescue! At some …

[Photos by REBAR, more at their site] Uptown Almanac and Mission Loc@l have both noticed the latest parklet to pop up, on 22nd and Bartlett. This latest, which Rebar Group calls "Walklet," is their experiment in creating a modular, LEGO-type kit for piecing together parklets for sitting, eating, and loitering peaceably — all with "easy maintenance and maximum durability." Judging by a …

Click the image above to view the full photogallery. Could anyone have guessed what hides behind the demure — even, dare we say it, boring — exterior of 506 6th Ave? The Richmond house has had nothing less than a "SENSATIONAL to-the-studs remodel (and expansion)," says its listing. Just looking at the eat-in kitchen and the spacious-looking open floor plan, you could probably …

One more notch on the Treasure Island timeline: the Board of Supes unanimously approved the terms of the purchase deal yesterday, which would have the city pay the Navy $55 million over 10 years, and then likely a good $50 million after the island's ground-up remake. The SF Examiner says that the final project plan will have to return to the …

While we're in the area, a reader writes in asking about some action he's spotted at 1198 Valencia: "I noticed the other day that work crews appear to be digging up the long-closed gas station at 23rd and Valencia. Do you know if something's slated to be built there? It's a great site, facing streets on three sides since it goes …

Click the image above to view the full photogallery. Ahead of Laguna Honda Hospital's end-of-summer launch, the Chronicle brings us a little insight into the architecture of what's normally a pretty cut and dried event. The design team leader at Anshen+Allen explains that the hospital's built like a community, separated into "neighborhoods" comprising a larger "village." Hospitals can be "intimidating," he says, …

Click the image above to view the full photogallery. Back in February, when we learned that Mid-Market cheerleader David Addington was converting seven stories of the Warfield building into full-floor commercial condos, we didn't also guess that they'd be marketed with residential usage. Turns out that their Downtown General Commercial zoning (C3G) allows for "accessory use housing" — meaning their main use will …

Click the image above to view the full photogallery. Would the little Russian Hill cottage that got smashed to pieces last year be rolling in its grave today? The owners of the lot have moved swiftly on their proposal for a five-story building in the contentious spot where neighbors and preservationists said a small historic house stood. Via SocketSite today, designs for …

Now that Hayes Valley's Stanley Saitowitz project has been approved, we can pencil in one full-service grocery store at 555 Fulton. That's one more on a list that continues to grow and shrink: a TJ's iced on Van Ness and Sutter, a Whole Foods going to Haight and Stanyan, a TJ's in the Castro, an iced project in the Tenderloin — and …

Oh, the enduring charm of the rear-yard cottage! Even better than street-facing cottages: each one makes you think of all those times you camped out in the backyard as a kid. The 1-bed, 1-bath Russian Hill cottage at 1261A Filbert has been refinished through and through: modern kitchen and bath, says the ad, plus new appliances and fixtures. And the washer …

The Chron has a few photos of the factory that will eventually churn out the 22-unit microcondo project headed to 38 Harriet St, plus a couple quotes on the project, pro and con. First, pro: "With units like this, it becomes affordable for singles and first-time home buyers to get a toe-hold in the market that they otherwise wouldn't have access …
