HistoryWe are based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and have enjoyed being part of the community since the firm's establishment in 1970. Our staff creates original designs that address the unique needs and budgets of our clients. Each project preserves and celebrates the building's style while reflecting the client's personality and dreams. We unearth the full potential of each building and site to capture views and light, create warm, open interiors, and maximize outdoor spaces.SpecialtiesWe draw from a variety of historic and contemporary architectural styles, including Craftsman, English Arts and Crafts, Mediterranean, Prairie, Shingle Style, and Modern. We employ time tested materials and construction methods to build sound structures with beautiful details. Our working drawings are prized by builders for their clarity and ease of construction. Passive solar design, environmentally sensitive construction, natural lighting and energy conserving features are incorporated into the development of each project. Our interior design services include selecting finishes, lighting, hardware, furnishings, and coordinating colors for finished spaces. We also offer landscape design services, with the aim of integrating interior and exterior spaces throughout the home.
