We design spaces with a long memory.
Cornice is a studio for people who plan to stay. We design homes and workplaces across the Central Valley that age well — quietly, deliberately, and without chasing the trend.
Twelve years of work you can walk through. We take a small number of projects each year so every one gets the room it deserves.
A studio, not a factory.
Most firms hand your house to whoever is free. We don't. The same two people who sit with you at the kitchen table draw the plans and stand on the site. No middlemen, no markup on someone else's work — one studio, accountable from the first sketch to the last walkthrough.
What we do.
Residential Architecture
New homes and ground-up builds designed around how you actually live — light, storage, and the long view.
Interior Design
Rooms that feel considered, not decorated. Materials chosen to wear in rather than wear out.
Renovation & Additions
Older homes brought forward without erasing what made them worth keeping.
Pre-design Consultation
Not sure a project pencils out? A single working session to test the idea before you commit.
"They listened for a year before they drew a line. The house feels like it was always here."
How we work.
Listen
We start with how you live and what the site wants — before anyone reaches for a pencil.
Draw
Plans you can understand, revised with you, until it's right on paper and on budget.
Build
We stay on through construction, so the thing that gets built is the thing we drew.
