Selected residential work

A portfolio shaped by people and place.

Client experience

A complex process, made manageable.

“Their expertise and guidance helped us navigate all the decisions with confidence… We felt we could completely trust them, and the final result was even better than we’d hoped.”

— Michael, Eisenmann Architecture client

The Eisenmann Architecture studio team

The studio approach

Clarity before construction.

The studio brings structure to the full arc of a project—from early feasibility and design through permits and construction administration.

See it before it’s built

3D modeling and immersive walkthroughs make light, scale, and flow tangible while decisions still matter most.

Keep every detail aligned

A dedicated client portal keeps drawings, schedules, meeting minutes, and design tools in one place.

Protect the design on site

Site visits, construction reports, and close builder coordination carry the design through completion.

Before we begin

Questions worth asking early.

What kinds of homes do you design?

Custom residences, including new homes, transformative remodels, and finely detailed interiors. Each project is shaped by the client, the site, and the larger vision.

Where does Eisenmann Architecture work?

From studios in Berkeley and Incline Village, the team works throughout the Bay Area, Lake Tahoe, and beyond.

Can I experience the design before construction?

Yes. The studio integrates 3D modeling and immersive walkthroughs so you can understand light, scale, and flow while decisions can still be shaped.

Does the studio stay involved during construction?

Yes. Through construction administration, the team works with the builder, visits the site at key moments, documents discussions, and helps keep the design on track.

Can you help evaluate a property or early idea?

An optional feasibility study can explore site questions, preliminary concepts, structural systems, permitting, time, quality, and cost before a full-scale project begins.
