Andrea Rugg Photography

During a recent trip to San Francisco, I combined family time with photography work on a project for .architecture — the firm founded by my brother Lawrence Rugg and his partner Neil Wallis. An 8-foot ladder proved essential for capturing this striking tall, narrow house in all its glory!

The home belongs to a successful film producer, director, and writer. Its compact yet commanding design is Streamline Moderne — a branch of Art Deco inspired by the futuristic, aerodynamic aesthetics of 1930s transportation. Between shoots, we made the most of San Francisco’s offerings: a visit to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, a round of golf in the Berkeley hills, and an unexpected coyote sighting among the redwoods.

Stay tuned — photos from this project will be coming in a few weeks!

An older home thoughtfully reimagined through clean lines, natural light, and warm finishes ✨

This series captures the updated kitchen, second-floor bedroom, sitting area, and bathroom—highlighting both design details and the overall feel of the space.

A focus on composition, texture, and light brings each space to life.
