About a year after snatching up the Penguin Arms building at 2902 Revere St., Dan Linscomb and Pam Kuhl-Linscomb announce to the Chronicle?s Lisa Gray their plans to incorporate Arthur Moss?s pedigreed 1950 Googie-style apartment building into the multi-building streetside campus of their Upper Kirby home-furnishings-and-knick-knacks empire: ?In about a year, after a round of renovation and restoration, they plan to open the Penguin Arms as a showroom,? Gray writes. ?Maybe, Dan says, they?ll reserve a little piece as an apartment, so they can literally live above the shop.?

The Kuhl-Linscomb shopping campus already includes 6 formerly residential structures along Steel St., along with a main space in a strip center facing all the action in the Whole Foods Market parking lot across Argonne St. But the Penguin Arms won?t be isolated, Gray writes. The owners plan to tear down the building?s parking structure and add ?some sort of link through the unused alleyway so customers can walk in air-conditioning? through the back yard to Building 2. ?It?ll be tasteful, Dan promises: ?This sounds overblown, but like the Guggenheim or the Louvre additions ? the addition its own contemporary thing, but not overpowering, not obtrusive.??
