SAN FRANCISCO ARCHITECTURE

From the outside, contemporary San Francisco architecture looks to have been driven by commercial buildings. From the Trans America Tower and The Cathedral of Saint Mary in the ’70s to SFMOMA and the Salesforce Tower, San Francisco has always been a haven for new thinking and modern design. These iconic buildings and many more in the Bay Area are world-famous, but San Francisco’s love of contemporary architecture isn’t exclusive to commercial properties.

Holder Parlette has been designing contemporary, functional, and beautiful San Francisco Bay Area homes for over 20 years. Having grown up here, San Francisco’s rich architectural landscape is a constant and welcome influence in all of our work. The blending of classic design, historical landmarks, and contemporary architecture has always influenced our passion and approach.

Our projects include architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture.

SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA / PROJECTS

BERKELEY RESIDENCE

BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA

The renovation of a 1960s Berkeley home focused on a modern European style, prioritizing expansive views and spacious interiors within the original structure's footprint. The design highlights include elevated living areas with 14ft ceilings and a full-height sliding door to merge indoor and outdoor spaces, centering on views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Mill Valley Residence

MILL VALLEY, CALIFORNIA

Our Mill Valley residence posed formidable challenges remaking an existing home as the base of Mt. Tamalpias. Our design reconfigures the home to capture much needed daylight for a better connection to the amazing forested setting.
