Architecture Design of Silver Lining House

Description About The Project

Silver Lining House, a collaborative masterpiece by Mork-Ulnes Architects and interior designer Alison Damonte, stands as a multifaceted container for art, furniture, and creative inspiration. This three story home was thoughtfully conceived to house a remarkable art and furniture collection. And serve as a dynamic laboratory for the homeowners.

The project’s original brief called for a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence that would not only offer breathtaking views of San Francisco’s twin peaks and the surrounding neighborhood of Bernal Heights but also provide a platform to showcase the couple’s extensive art and furniture treasures.

Originally built in 1908, the house underwent a significant transformation under the guiding hand of Casper Mork-Ulnes, founder of Mork-Ulnes Architects. While the redesign was well underway, an unfortunate fire incident occurred on Christmas Eve 2017. Forcing a reevaluation of the project’s scope. Nonetheless, the couple’s unwavering goal remained to create a home that encapsulated their love for art and served as a wellspring of inspiration.

The new design took cues from the gabled Edwardian neighbors, harmoniously blending with the streetscape. It embraced traditional elements like roof forms and entry portals while embracing a contemporary perspective with its black-painted facade and ribbon windows, bridging the interior and the neighborhood.

Indeed, this house is a testament to the transformative power of design, where tradition and innovation seamlessly intertwine to create a space that not only reflects its owners’ passions but also elevates everyday living to an art form.

Inside, the house was meticulously crafted to act as a vitrine for the couple’s art and furniture collection. A central, curved staircase serves as a captivating focal point, allow light to filter down from a third-floor skylight, infusing the space with an ambiance that mirrors the couple’s creative spirit.
