Georgianna Salz Kleman

Georgianna began her career as an Art Historian with a focus on contemporary architecture, and her love for architecture, drawing, and city life has only grown from there. Over the years, she’s tackled a wide range of projects—schools, multi-family residential, and historic buildings. One of her favorite adventures was converting a historic automobile body shop into housing through adaptive reuse, a process that perfectly combined her appreciation for preserving the past with her enthusiasm for innovative design. Originally from the Bay Area, Georgianna continues to explore San Francisco’s many gems—from its stunning hilltop views and Ocean Beach to Salesforce Park and the 80s post-modern SFMOMA building. If you drop by her place, you’ll find Percy Jackson novels, biographies of architects and scientists, a cookbook, a few cat toys, and a stack of architecture books on her coffee table. It’s a snapshot of her life: curious, creative, and ever dedicated to the next architectural challenge.
