Fairview

Working with award-winning architect Andrew Skurman, we constructed an estate that was reminiscent of a French country villa yet equipped with all the modern conveniences. From the custom arched dormers that punctuate the main roof to the French doors that lead out to the grounds, our creative innovation and exacting attention to detail paid off in a big way. Within two months of completion, the breathtaking estate was chosen as the location of a celebrity wedding. But even more important, the couple we built it for call it home.

Meadow House

PCH completed a renovation of this magnificent equestrian 1940s Mediterranean estate. The property features a historic octagonal barn with 10 stalls, an apple orchard, natural grasses, meadows and a formal lawn. Our team is proud of the craftsmanship that went into remodeling the great room which includes an elevated media/library area. The project included a renovation of the master suite, new exercise room, balconies, fencing, great room, stairs, master bath, and rooftop deck. The new pool completed the beautiful grounds which also has a well for irrigation.

San Francisco, May 2018 – PCH’s Pacific Heights Victorian project was awarded the 2018 Julia Morgan Award for interior design and decoration. It was recognized for a bold, yet timeless approach to Classicism. By bringing renowned designer Atelier Ugo Sap’s vision to life, PCH delivered on the client’s request for something different. Integrating modernism with twenty-first century technology, we added distinctive features throughout the three-story Pacific Heights Victorian, from hand-painted hardwood flooring to exquisite custom-plastered ceilings.
