Above: In a San Francisco townhouse remodeled by Feldman Architecture, the main living spaces were isolated from the rest of the house by dark stairs and hallways. A new wood, steel, and glass staircase, flooded with daytime light, encourages residents to travel upward from the first-floor entry to the top-floor living space. Hear from Feldman in The Architect Is In: A Kitchen Expert Answers Your Queries. Photograph by Joe Fletcher.
