Architect in Saratoga, CA

Saratoga sits at the foot of the Santa Cruz Mountains, with a charming village, wineries and wooded hillside neighborhoods. Many properties are on large or sloping lots with views to protect, and the city values its semi-rural, residential character.

Our design approach in Saratoga

We plan each design around the site, its slope, its trees and its views, so the house and its gardens feel like one place. Many Saratoga homes are about indoor-outdoor living, so we give equal care to terraces, pools, pool houses and outdoor rooms, and we bring older homes up to date while respecting what made them special.

Local insight

In Saratoga, most new homes and larger additions go through the City's design review. We design with its expectations in mind and prepare the drawings for design review and permits, so projects move forward with fewer surprises.

Our work in Saratoga

  • a complete remodel and expansion of a hillside estate, with a glass entry gallery and a home theater, plus a resort-style backyard and pool house ADU;
  • a mid-century modern remodel in the spirit of a classic Eichler, centered on a skylit atrium;
  • a contemporary single-story remodel with marble floors and wide sliding glass walls;
  • new homes now in design, from a Tuscan-inspired villa with a stone tower to a modern one-story home with planted green roofs, and a farmhouse-style pool house.
