ABOUT
THE STUDIO
Mary Dooley and Chris Lynch, Principals, have dedicated themselves to the art and process of architectural design for 30 years. Along with their talented team, they apply their depth of experience to the design of houses, wineries, work places, hospitality and health care spaces, restoration, and interior design. This intimate design practice has resulted in happy clients and well built, award winning projects primarily in Marin, Napa and Sonoma Counties.
The partners met at U.C. Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design when the education of architecture and design presented a contrast of ecological approaches and stylistic solutions. This debate helped strengthen the partner’s resolve and design mission – to create beautiful spaces for people in harmony with nature. During the design process, the solution is found by integrating purpose while discovering the nature of the place itself.
Facing world challenges at home we must re-imagine how to work, live and play together (and apart) in communities built on mutual respect and fairness. This vision is integral to our design approach and our relationships.
