DNM Architecture - Bay Area Architect
Whether you are building a new home, a multi-family building, an accessory dwelling unit (“ADU”) or adding to your current Bay Area home, each project is uniquely crafted to meet your goals and aspirations. We are team players and team leaders. Our portfolio demonstrates our capabilities and broad experience, but DNM Architecture’s greatest value lies in our capacity to listen and craft unique solutions based on your needs and your desires.
DNM Architecture has a passion for creating captivating spaces for our clients and the community. Your project is the center of our design process, and our agenda is you and your project.
We begin by listening to you – and we never stop. We analyze the site, your functional requirements, budget and other opportunities and constraints. We offer our own experience and expertise, balancing the competing challenges of function, style, budget, codes, context, schedule, energy efficiency, and dozens of other considerations. We lead your entire project team to help ensure that your project is both an immediate and a long-term success.
DNM Architecture is a signatory to the AIA 2030 Commitment and strongly advocates green, sustainable, energy-efficient building to reduce the energy required to construct and operate our buildings. With experience in LEED and Green Point Rated projects, as well as in-house energy modelling, we make sure your project is ready for life today and well into the future.
DNM Architecture is a San Francisco Bay Area Architecture Firm Specializing in Modern Residential, Commercial, and Institutional Architecture
Your local building department may require you to hire a registered architect or engineer, but there are also many advantages of working with a Bay Area architect that go far beyond simply complying with the law.
Through education, training and experience, an architect is equipped to guide you through the design, permitting and construction of your building or renovation project. Unlike other specialized professionals (which you may also need) such as structural engineers, mechanical engineers, geotechnical engineers, etc., an architect is trained to be a generalist, to see both the big picture and the fine details. No other professional on your team can talk with you about the quality of space and light as well as building code regulations as well as the strength of concrete with equal ease (and often in the same sentence!). An architect will help guide your project through a web of issues including your functional needs, budget, schedule, Bay Area site restrictions, zoning requirements, building code requirements, engineering requirements, and more to create a building for you that is beautiful, strong and functional.
