Minimalism vs maximalism. This debate is passé. The Classical Age is long gone. The Baroque masters have declared end-scene. Even the surrealists have called it a day (well, Dali did melt time even in his period). In an age where you can be anything your heart desires, why pick sides? This San Francisco residence designed by Nina Magon, plays a daring double act.
“The homeowner, an avid art collector and antique enthusiast sought to create a sophisticated space where her extensive collection could be meticulously positioned and displayed throughout her home,” states Nina, the Founder and CEO of her eponymous firm, Nina Magon Studio. Inside a three-storey 7,500 sq ft Queen Anne envelope perched on Pacific Heights, the designer conjures a sense of constant cohabitation, between the old and the new, experiences and their expression, the art of living and the art of collecting. A negotiated sense of place.
