Andrew Mann Architecture

The appeal of Andrew Mann Architecture’s work—marked by deep connection to setting, sophisticated materiality, and a crisp-lined, contemporary outlook—is in part due to how gracefully it honors history while transcending it. The celebrated firm has been bringing its elegant imprint to the Bay Area’s built landscape since 1998, reinvigorating vernacular style for today’s lifestyles. It makes poetry out of natural light: “We’re attuned to the way it enriches space and articulates volumes,” says Andrew Mann. Equally obsessed with craftsmanship and narrative depth, his team is responsible for some of the area’s most striking and livable spaces—from distinctive custom homes to a recent cultural commission to build a Khmer Buddhist temple in San Jose, California.
