Mark Brand Architecture

A remodel in half Moon Bay by us nearing completion.

Interior of a building we designed at 801 Greenwich Street more than 20 years ago.

Beautiful modernist architecture! I wish I could get the opportunity to design something like this.

We just got a great new Canon plotter!

One of my favorite buildings in my home town, the Carnegie Library building on West Pine Street. The building was the first permanent home of the library and among the first municipal buildings Lodi erected. It was built with a $9,000 grant from the Carnegie Foundation. Designed by Stockton architect Walker King and built by J. Lucas, the building was dedicated Feb. 12, 1910, in a grand ceremony. This building served as the Lodi Library for 69 years until 1979. That year, a new library building was opened at Church and Locust streets. The old library building on Pine Street was remodeled in 1989 and became Carnegie Forum, where the city council and various city commissions hold public meetings.

GLOWING SPA-INSPIRED BATHROOM - This will not take you directly to the project that I designed, so look for the "Glowing Spa-inspired Bathroom" project we designed for Alisa Yee. It is on the second page of videos.

For this kitchen and bath remodel in San Francisco's Cole Valley, our client wanted us to open the kitchen up to the living room and create a new modern feel for all of the remodeled areas. Opening the kitchen to the living area provided a structural challenge as the wall we had to remove was load-bearing and there was a separately owned condo on the floor below. Working closely with a structural engineer, we created a strategy to carry the weight to the exterior walls of the... building. In order to do this, we had to tear off the entire roof and rebuild it with new structural joists which could span from property line to property line. To achieve a dramatic daylighting effect, we created a slot skylight over the back wall of the kitchen with the beams running through the skylight. Cerulean blue, back-painted glass for the backsplash and a thick waterfall edge for the island add more distinctive touches to this kitchen design. In the master bath, we created a sinuous counter edge which tracks its way to the floor to create a curb for the shower. Green tile imported from Morocco adds a pop of color in the shower and a custom built indirect LED lighting cove creates a glow of light around the mirror. See more

I love this house by Aidlin Darling Design.

Those who know me will understand how much this saddens me.
