Warm Contemporary | Studio SHK

San Francisco designer Sherry Hope-Kennedy infuses a touch of glamour into this modern home, mixing a warm color palette with contemporary art and modern furniture to blend his and her style.

This family of five tapped Sherry to design a high-end home that could be sophisticated enough to display the family art (the wife inherited an art collection from her grandparents) and sturdy enough to handle the chaos of three growing children. A place where luxury, whimsy and hard play could co-exist. 

Taking advantage of the sloped property, the two-level, 5,419-square foot home was designed to maximize views and the indoor/outdoor California lifestyle. A fireplace seamlessly connects the front porch to an interior sitting room.  An oversized mid-century front door unveils an art-gallery entry and leads to an open floor plan complete with hardwood flooring and coffered ceilings. Exotic woods are juxtaposed with bright, glossy white finishes. Streamlined furnishings in shades of browns and whites are punctuated with pops of colorful art and whimsical accessory pieces. A game room houses a ping pong table and pop-art inspired decor. 

House Features: 6 bedroom, 5 bath with a two-level deck, outdoor cooking, indoor/outdoor fireplace, located on 1.1 acres with mature heritage trees
