About Us
After a long and successful career in luxury hotel design, award-winning architect Peter Mason founded his own Firm in 2014. With 15 years of community service to the Town of Woodside CA, including serving as Chair of the Town’s Architecture & Site Review Board, 10 years as a member of the Town Council, and a term as Mayor, he began to receive an increasing number of requests for custom residential design.
His public service has given him a strong grasp of the requirements for successfully expediting projects through the planning, design approval and public hearing process, and the Firm is accomplished at successfully and efficiently shepherding projects through this process.
Much as we do when designing a high end hotel, after determining our clients' priorities, preferences and budget, we explore the ways in which we can use the site's natural features, and the qualities of light and atmosphere. A priority is to focus on creating an indoor - outdoor experience that can enhance our client's experience of their future home.

I was representing a seller of a Woodside home, small home, small lot for Woodside - 'non-confirming' - 'sub standard' are some of the words I think the town used...(not exactly confidence inspiring) Anyway, Peter explained most properties in Woodside are designated non-conforming and it is not language a buyer should get hung-up on. Prior to meeting Peter, I sent many interested buyers to the town building department and my sellers and I were getting frustrated that most of these potential buyers were coming away confused and uncertain and choosing to walk away..
Peter stepped in and created an evaluation of what can be done with the property, (he put it in human-speak) which was a huge help in terms of giving buyers confidence of what kind of home and scope of improvements could realistically and legally be applied to the parcel. (Relief).
I found Peter knowledgeable about the Woodside planning process, responsive and easy to work with, and he was able to help us have a successful outcome in selling my clients home, due to his understanding what the planning process in Woodside might allow but as important if not more so, his ability to communicate this to buyers effectively.
One of my Realtor colleagues who lives in Woodside suggested I call Peter. I am so glad I did!
