We are a licensed architecture firm in California (Marin County) and specialize in creating unique, functional, and modern spaces for your home. Whether you’re building from the ground up, adding an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), or remodeling key areas of your home, our tailored design approach ensures your vision is brought to life.
Custom Architectural Design and Remodeling Services



We start with the "Big Idea" for your property, and the main goals you want to achieve, developing a program based on your needs for the space. Once that is established, we mock up simple floor plans and renderings to show the overall concept. Our step-by-step process will ensure you are in control of the design every step of the way.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) offer an excellent solution for increasing usable space on your property, whether for an office, living area, rental unit. Reach out to us today to schedule a site assessment to evaluate your site requirements and identify the appropriate size of ADU for your property. Start our step-by-step journey toward your ideal design by filling out my project questionnaire!
Kitchens and Bathrooms can definitely be designed to impress your guests or be made to just feel more functional and inviting. We work with local contractors in Santa Clara, Marin, Sonoma and LA county to meet your project design goals, stay within budget, and make your vision come true.
ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES
Our custom architectural services include everything from conceptual design to permits, ensuring that each project reflects your style and functional requirements. Whether it’s a new build, a kitchen or bathroom remodel, or the addition of an ADU, we work closely with you every step of the way to bring your dream space to life.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
We can design your project exactly the way you want it. Send me a photo of the space you have, and one inspirational photo or description of what you want it to look like, and I will create a conceptual rendering of your space. We can decide if the design works for you, or modify the direction accordingly. We also provide a full range of architectural services from conceptual design to permits, and can custom-tailor our services based on your project needs!
KITCHEN & BATHROOM RENOVATIONS
Kitchen and Bathroom remodels are a great way to update your home, without the cost of a full renovation. We work with many different suppliers, and the options for cabinet type, brand and design are seemingly endless! If you send me one photo of the space you have, one inspirational photo of what you want it to look like, and fill out my project questionnaire with a description of the space, I will create a conceptual rendering of the space you want using your words to describe it. From there, we can discuss what would be appropriate for your project and can provide a range of services from design to permits!
CONTRACTOR COLLABORATION
We work with teams of local contractors and consultants serving Marin, Sonoma, Santa Clara and LA, who can help with pricing estimates and construction scheduling. We will coordinate your project needs from conception through completion following our proven step-by-step process with specific milestones we have established, so you are always in control of the direction of the project.

REMOTE DESIGN
We can work with remote customers (based in California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, and Florida), as long as we can get "As-Built" drawings done by a 3rd party. For bare lots, we can work on conceptual designs with a topo and a survey. If you like the conceptual design, we can walk you through our full suite of architectural services to see what works for you. These may include: site planning, civil and landscape coordination, construction documentation, permits, contractor selection, and bidding.

ON-THE-BOARDS
We have several projects in progress or planning stages. If you have a unique project idea, please send us your inspirational photos and complete my project questionnaire. I will conduct a preliminary assessment of your property to determine how swiftly we can make your dream a reality!
ADU'S
ADUs offer an excellent solution for increasing your living space, serving as a home office, workspace, art studio, or rental opportunity to enhance your property's profitability.
