THE BREAKFAST ROOM

Honoring the beauty and grandeur of the turn-of-the-century academic style of the 2019 San Francisco Decorator Showcase House, Eche Martinez created an intimate dining room. The design incorporates a mix of antique, vintage and contemporary pieces to illustrate the passage of time, as well as the artistic and aesthetic sensibility each generation has brought to this grand residence.

New terrazzo floors flecked with greens and grays anchor the timelessly elegant garden room atmosphere. Oversized palm trees reference the 'Palm Court' tradition of Palace Hotels all over the world, and enliven original wood paneling, transformed by the artistry of Willem Racké to mimic the look of an old-world, limestone-clad veranda with coffered ceilings.
