A Los Angeles–based photographer who shoots for the New York Times, Travel & Leisure, and Sunset, Dave Lauridsen first visited architect David Baker’s home in San Francisco for Dwell in 2008 and attempted to recreate one of the shots in this issue. “The spot I’d taken the original photo from no longer existed,” Lauridsen says. “There used to be a small one-story garage at the back of the lot, which I got on top of for the orig-inal photo. Now there’s a new building in that spot so I wasn’t able to get quite the same perspective as before.”
