Since their founding in 1985, Butler Armsden have carefully assembled a varied portfolio of primarily residential work. Each project conveys the uniqueness that comes from an architecture which shares their client’s vision and that works in deep relationship to the site and the surrounding urban and rural fabrics. They believe each project is created for an individual on a single site in a single time, and that the solution is specific to that partnership. They bring a variety of methods into the process including renderings, models, virtual reality and reams of sketches. They truly enjoy the process of working with others to come up with the best answer to a design challenge and greatly value the collaborations with their clients.
Their firm is based in San Francisco, and most of their work is in the city or in the surrounding Bay Area counties. They find themselves engaging with art, culture, technology and nature with virtually every project. They always seek to learn from the wonderful California landscape that provides such a fertile basis for design, and equally value the rapidly changing aspects of the state, where never-ending streams of new ideas challenge them daily.
