The Cow Hollow Residence was an ambitious four-story remodel within a compact footprint. Enlarged windows on the Master Bedroom Level offer scenic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Mt.

The project includes both horizontal and vertical expansion of the building envelope with three renovated bathrooms and one completely rebuilt kitchen.
