About Architecture
Combining masterful design and hard-earned insight into the dynamics of building in Northern California, Pacific Peninsula Architecture operates as an independent, world-class studio proficient in a wide range of architectural languages. Rejecting stale distinctions between traditional and modern, we approach architecture as a continuum, utilizing elements of the past to ennoble the present. Regardless of style, we focus on light, scale, proportion, and plan—the building blocks of every great house. For more than three decades, we’ve applied these principles to hundreds of residential and commercial commissions, from strategic remodels and additions to ground-up designs for the largest estates in the region.
As an independent company, PPA works with third-party clients and vendors as well as in tandem with Pacific Peninsula Group’s Custom Homes and Development companies. The elasticity of our business structure allows us to engage in relationships keyed to the specific needs of individual clients and projects. Whatever the preferred relationship, our clients benefit from the extensive knowledge, research, and business acumen gleaned from our affiliate companies. Ultimately, our work privileges substance and style in equal measure. The homes we create are designed to stand the test of time—homes that deliver joy, comfort, and beauty for generations to come.
Services
PPA provides complete architectural services in support of the Development Division, designing their trend-setting residential development projects, mainly located in Atherton.
PPA, in conjunction with the Custom Homes Division, originates the design process with clients, identifying properties to develop, assessing the viability of each, and completing the architectural design process. Once the architectural work is finished, the Custom Home Division proceeds with the construction progression.
PPA also provides a full range of architectural services in a traditional third-party, owner-architect-outside general contractor arrangement. In this capacity, PPA supports projects that are modest to grand in scale.
