Like much of San Francisco’s housing stock, the Laidley Street Cottage was becoming out of date. Built to last 100 years, the home was at the end of its useful life with all building systems needing upgrading. Originally, the home was an existing rear yard cottage. In the redesign, additional square footage was modest and focused on right-sizing the property to the site while adding new building systems and daylit design.
The housing crisis is one of the biggest issues facing California today. AIA California believes that through architectural ideation, innovation and implementation, we can make an impact in addressing housing attainability. The Housing Forum is where the design community connects to share, learn, and implement design-driven housing solutions.
