Each of our projects reflects the spirit of a unique time and place, while at the same time addressing present-day lifestyles. We embrace construction methods that revive the lost art of craftsmanship. Time-tested materials and picturesque details such as post-and-beam construction reflect the care and craft that are the signatures of artistic attention. Authentic finishes and hardware infuse a sense of beauty and livability rarely achieved by modern architecture. The design process begins with what our clients find evocative – places they have visited, things they have seen, their personality and their dreams. The many completed homes and buildings designed by the firm throughout Northern California are evidence of its success since its establishment in 1989. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Building Design - Home Remodeling - Custom Homes - House Plans - New Home Construction - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Kitchen Design - Sustainable Design - Kitchen Remodeling - Energy-Efficient Homes - Floor Plans - Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) - Bathroom Design - Green Building - Universal Design - Pool House Design & Construction - Home Restoration - Historic Building Conservation - Basement Remodeling ### Areas Served - San Francisco - Oakland - Berkeley - Alameda - Lafayette - Albany - Orinda - Moraga - Emeryville - Piedmont - Tiburon - Atherton - Serene Lakes ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | John Malick & Associates | | Address | 1195 Park Avenue \#102, Emeryville, California 94608, United States | | Phone | (510) 595-8042 | | Website | http://www.jmalick.com | | Followers on Houzz | 649 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/pages/john-malick-associates/302355703117712 - LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/pub/john-malick/13/4/278 ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [John Malick & Associates](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/john-malick-and-associates-pfvwus-pf~662713864) - **Website:** http://www.jmalick.com - **Phone:** (510) 595-8042 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - http://jmalick.com/about-us/recognition/ - **Best of Houzz:** 2 awards (2013–2014), for Service, Design. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 9 reviews** ### All 9 reviews **★★★★★ — Leslie Pinsof, Sept. 2016** > John Malick and Greg Klein designed a brilliant,unique,breathtaking,Greek Revival Farmhouse for us in Sonoma,Ca.They were a delight to work with,extraordinarily creative,while adhering to purity of style.We could not be more pleased.

We chose Malick because of their experience with old homes and their sensitivity to retaining historic features while incorporating modern elements. Malick provided excellent services through the entire process of design, permitting, bidding, and building. We would not hesitate to recommend them, and in fact we are working with them again on a new project. ## Selected projects - [Coeur d'Alene Mountain Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coeur-d-alene-mountain-home-pj-vj~1853830) - Location: Coeur d'Alene, ID - Photos: 12 - [Mediterranean Pool House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mediterranean-pool-house-pj-vj~1839365) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: This pool house takes its stylistic cues from the main residence, with thick, stucco-finished walls, stone trims and a Roman tile roof.
