McGriff Architects

Based in San Francisco and Brooklyn, McGriff Architects is known for creating approachable, contemporary yet timeless dwellings that embody the life stories of their inhabitants. “Our homes have a profound effect on our well-being,” says principal Benjamin McGriff. “That’s why we begin with the emotional needs behind each client’s vision and then build spaces for exactly the lifestyle they want.” Enduring materials and classic proportions are additional pillars of the firm’s design practice. San Francisco studio director Eric Pereira notes, “Great layout is critical for an effortlessly elegant home, but the true design narrative always shows up in the details.”
