We are Framestudio, a small, principal-led architecture and design studio based in Point Richmond, with work extending from the San Francisco Bay Area to The Sea Ranch and beyond. Our size allows us to remain closely involved in every project, from the first conversation through the details of its realization.
Our deep knowledge of midcentury architecture informs the restoration and renovation of existing homes, as well as the additions, alterations and new buildings we design. Our approach is rigorous and highly considered: understanding what matters, preserving what works and knowing where a precise intervention can make a meaningful difference.
The lessons of midcentury architecture also inform our new work: clarity of form, natural light, honest materials and a close relationship to the landscape. We place particular value on craftsmanship and detail, working with lasting materials, skilled makers and bespoke solutions.
Our work is guided less by a signature style than by finding the right response to the building, its setting and the way its owners want to live.
