A former hippie haven in Haight-Ashbury is renovated by Casper Mork-Ulnes, designer of the prefab Modern Cabana line.
The New York Times writes:
"Salvaged lumber was glued together to form the butcher-block treads of the parlor staircase; chips and nail holes were left exposed. The railing is made of shower-door glass and industrial hardware."
