About Company

Jarvis Architects is an architectural and landscape design firm based in Oakland, California, specializing in residential and neighborhood commercial projects throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Established in 1970, the company works in a wide range of historic and contemporary styles—including Craftsman, English Arts and Crafts, Mediterranean, Prairie, Shingle Style, and Modern—while tailoring each project to reflect the client’s personality, needs, and budget. Jarvis Architects focuses on preserving and enhancing a building’s inherent character, maximizing light, views, and outdoor space, and integrating interior and exterior environments. The company employs time-tested materials, clear and builder-friendly construction drawings, and incorporates passive solar strategies, environmentally sensitive construction, natural lighting, and energy-conserving features into its designs. In addition to new homes, additions, and remodels, Jarvis Architects has extensive experience restoring and updating historic homes, and offers comprehensive interior design and landscape design services, as well as selected institutional and commercial work such as churches, camps, restaurants, banks, retail shops, and offices across California, other parts of the U.S., and England.
