ABD STUDIO’s Brittany Giannone Reimagines an Edwardian Grande Dame in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights

Originally defined by its period moldings, grand proportions, and timeworn details, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined to balance historic charm with contemporary elegance.

Honoring History, Elevating Design

Rather than stripping away the home’s Edwardian character, Giannone embraced it. Original millwork, ceiling medallions, and architectural symmetry were preserved, while updated finishes and curated furnishings introduced warmth and modern sophistication.

A Fresh Perspective on Grandeur

The once formal interiors now feel inviting and layered. Soft neutral palettes, custom upholstery, and statement lighting create a dialogue between past and present. Each room flows effortlessly into the next, maintaining the grandeur of the original structure while offering comfort tailored to modern living.

Modern Function Meets Classic Beauty

Behind the scenes, thoughtful updates ensure the home functions seamlessly for today’s lifestyle. From reconfigured layouts to contemporary kitchen enhancements, the redesign respects tradition while embracing innovation.

The result is a timeless residence—proof that when history is honored and design is intentional, a grande dame can shine brighter than ever.
