Renovating Older Homes—Thoughtfully Blending History and Modernity
Historic homes hold decades, sometimes a century or more, of stories and nostalgia. The prominent historic Bay Area home styles—Victorian, Edwardian, Craftsman, and Mid-Century Modern—responded to the cultural ideas and available construction methods of the day, creating recognizable buildings that immediately play on our senses. We might not know why a Victorian home was designed the way it was, but we know that it inspires in us a feeling of a long-ago era.
