Architecture Built Around Your Life

Bay Area Designs is a full-service residential architecture and interior design firm based in Palo Alto, specializing in custom new homes and major remodels throughout the Peninsula.


Our work is rooted in a simple conviction: Every project should be customized to the specific needs and desires of your family. That belief — combined with a design sensibility shaped by European craft and California warmth — defines our signature Warm Modern aesthetic.


Founded in 2003, we bring over 25 years of Peninsula experience to each project, with architecture and interior design developed together by one dedicated team. From schematic design through permitting, construction, and interiors, we will guide you every step of the way.
