We design many types of buildings, mostly housing.
When we do another type of project, it’s because we feel a connection to the client, the neighborhood, or the mission of the project. We’ve done a few cafes, not because we are experts in coffee, but because we like cafes. When the owner of a bunch of warehouses in West Berkeley came to us with the Fire Department as their future tenant, we jumped at the chance to do important work for the life/safety of the city. But housing forms the core of our work: JADU’s carved out of former basements and garages, detached ADU’s and tiny homes, pool houses, missing middle townhomes and compounds, office conversions, live/work lofts, small homes, modern mansions, student housing, multi-family apartments over ground floor retail are all in our portfolio. Any form of housing, renovation or new construction, is in our wheelhouse. We enjoy the parameters of living in a space, and fitting that into the context of a city. Housing is the core of how we live, and we enjoy helping create it.
