“Through your generosity,
we were able to convey the
importance of community and
goodwill to our young ladies.
The ability to effectively serve
and provide is an ongoing effort. PBD provided the often overlooked philosophy of beautification of one’s surroundings towards conveying a loving, family environment.”

Gastinell’s
Tender Loving Care Residence
San Francisco, CA
Completed December 2005
Gastinell’s is a group home for adolescent girls. To better reflect Gastinell’s mission of providing a positive environment for the girls, PBD upgraded the interior, focusing their design services on the key intimate or communal spaces in the home; bedrooms, bathrooms, living and dining areas. Using bright, uplifting colors on the walls and bold fabrics, each bedroom now has a distinct character, and age- and gender-appropriate style. Overall, the home feels contemporary and coordinated, and not at all like an institution.
