Haddock Studio preserves an apartment’s Victorian details while updating its interiors with custom furniture, an industrial kitchen, and a chiseled marble sink.

Just a few years after getting married and settling down in Palm Springs, California, Keith Jordan and Aamer Mumtaz found themselves dreaming of the Bay Area. "We’re both urban people, and we wanted to live in a city again," Aamer says. "There’s just so much going on in San Francisco."

Returning to San Francisco, a city they knew and loved, Aamer Mumtaz and Keith Jordan decided to revamp an apartment they already owned in Lower Pacific Heights.

They’d each lived there in the past, and Keith still owned an apartment in an 1880s Victorian in Lower Pacific Heights, so they decided to return in early 2020. Perched on a corner lot, the building has a gray-and-white facade with classic detailing, tall windows, and a bright red front door. Inside, the living and dining areas have original molding and ceiling medallions with icing-like swirls, which Keith and Aamer love—but the 1,196-square-foot one-bedroom lacked key features.

In the living room, the black circle chairs are by Haddock Studio, the firm that did the redesign.
Aamer’s paintings hang throughout the apartment, including over the refurbished marble fireplace. Haddock considered Keith and Aamer’s book collection and designed sleek floor-to-ceiling shelving.
