At Home on Nob Hill
San Francisco designer Jiun Ho's precision-crafted renovation of a landmark apartment makes room for family heirlooms and a collection of modern art
The most charismatic homes are those where the architecture as well as the occupant's history, personality and style are allowed to shine through. That's the case with the San Francisco apartment that designer Jiun Ho renovated in a classic 1927 Nob Hill building. The owner, a Bay Area biotech executive, is something of a Renaissance man. He grew up in Stuttgart, Germany, the son of an art-collecting businessman father and professional-violinist mother, and was educated as a scientist and engineer. He also trained as a classical pianist. His passions include collecting serious antiques as well as important 20th-century art.
