Team: Van Acker Construction

In a rare San Francisco twist, we removed a backyard pool to create a stunning kitchen and great room, redefining the home’s heart. Blending traditional elements with a uniquely personal design, the kitchen draws inspiration from a previous MCD project while capturing the clients’ individuality. Although it is a long, narrow space, thoughtful details like the warm-toned palette and light wood island breathe life into it–making it feel timeless and inviting. This project was a true transformation, and one we are oh so proud of!
