Jennifer Weiss Architecture is a design-oriented architecture firm that is committed to excellence in custom architecture and design for residential, cultural, corporate and academic buildings. We combine rigorous design with construction management experience - a rare combination that leads to a distinctive design process and end product that are aesthetically and intellectually rigorous as well as financially informed.

Our design values are modern: efficiency, logic, beauty, honest expression of materials, and clean lines and forms that allow the architecture itself - the space, light, materials, spatial relationships - and inhabitants to thrive. The result is an architecture that is current but timeless, serene yet warm, and universally rational while also being uniquely reflective of the values and characters of our clients.   

In addition to ground-up work, the firm has expertise in major modern renovations of and additions to significant works of architecture by notable architects including Joseph Esherick, William Wurster, Ernest Coxhead, Robert A.M. Stern, and the developer Joseph Eichler. The firm's work is published in Dwell Magazine, California Home and Design, House Beautiful, San Francisco Chronicle Magazine, and Remodelista, and in an advertisement for Apple, Inc.

With offices in San Francisco and St. Helena, JWA has projects throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Sonoma, and Napa Valley. Jennifer has also had projects in Hawaii and New York.

  - Description: This interior remodel transformed an existing awkward, dark, ranch house into a modern, light and view filled space - with a limited budget. With strategic moves, the interior space was transformed. The plan was rationalized: the kitchen was almost tripled in size; the plan was made efficient; an entry way was gained by modifying a hallway; relocating the laundry area created room for a new office, created privacy for the powder room, and allowed for a much needed storage wall for the children.…

  - Description: This adaptive re-use converts a 1915 church into a holistic therapy center. The intervention is subtle, in deference to the existing architecture, and is based upon the holistic principle of uniting the intellectual, aesthetic, spiritual, and cultural. The design strives to balance community and individualism: Individual counseling rooms are located around the perimeter of the central sanctuary space of the church. Light and views are brought to each individual therapy unit, while critical visua…

Inspired by the technology of ship building, specifically that of concrete ship building that arose during the World Wars when steel was scarce, and as pioneered in Oakland in 1917, our SEAT uses Ductal, a new type of high performing concrete that allows it to be much thinner and span greater distances than ever before. Our SEAT floats "dry docked" – it's…
