Thoughtful architectural design from Bay shores to coastal redwoods. Modern homes, sustainable buildings, and community spaces across the Peninsula.
Architecture Services in Peninsula
The Peninsula stretches from the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean, encompassing San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties' diverse architectural contexts. From tech campus modernism in the Bay Area corridor to coastal residential charm in Santa Cruz, the region demands architectural versatility and environmental sensitivity. Our Peninsula practice addresses varied challenges: Bay Area seismic and energy codes, coastal zone regulations, hillside development in San Mateo County's western hills, historic preservation in established downtowns, and Santa Cruz's unique blend of beach community character and university town vitality. Whether designing a contemporary home with Bay views, a redwood-country retreat, a commercial building near regional transit, or a coastal property within the Coastal Commission's jurisdiction, we bring expertise in local planning processes and design standards that protect both community character and natural resources. Peninsula architecture increasingly emphasizes sustainability, with many jurisdictions requiring all-electric construction, water conservation, and low-impact development. Our designs integrate these requirements from the start, creating buildings that minimize environmental impact while maximizing comfort and functionality.
