Andrew Mann Architecture Richness of space
Crispness of detail
Sophisticated use of natural light Context is defined as your existing house, property and neighborhood.

The work of Andrew Mann Architecture expands the tradition of the Bay Area Style to contemporary needs, specifically inspired by the works of, and precedent set by, earlier generations of architects such as Bernard Maybeck, Julia Morgan, William Wurster, Joseph Esherick and William Turnbull. Andrew Mann continues this tradition by focusing on the particularities of each project’s site and context, by establishing a strong connection between building and landscape and by making use of natural materials. In keeping with the Bay Area Style, we believe that developing volumes and spatial sequences are the important aspects of architecture that transcend the parameters of traditional or modern. Our designs focus on the abstract qualities of space, such as the play of natural light on surfaces, the proportion of heights and widths of architectural elements, how one moves through rooms, and how one perceives the relationship between those spaces. We believe these characteristics are central in creating timeless architecture and underlay all the work we do. When starting a project, Andrew Mann Architecture establishes with our clients their priorities in terms of program, context and budget. Programmatic needs are one’s wish list for the new construction that define the problems to be solved. This might include a list of rooms and elements desired in the new construction, plus an understanding of how you wish to live in those spaces. We look carefully to see how any new construction will fit with those conditions. Once those criteria are outlined, the firm’s design ideas focus on creating strong spatial relationships between spaces, using light to shape those spaces, and creating customized spaces that fit your needs.

There are moments in architecture when our work becomes about something much larger than the building itself.

After years of designing and building, our team had the extraordinary privilege of joining the Wat Khmer Kampuchea Krom community for the raising of the temple’s pinnacle. As monks, families, and community members gathered, the pinnacle rose into place. It was a profoundly moving moment, marking an important milestone in the creation of this sacred space that will preserve the community’s faith and traditions for generations to come. We are deeply grateful to play a part in bringing this extraordinary place to life.

The next chapter in Wat Khmer Kampuchea Krom’s construction is unfolding quickly.

Our latest report in collaboration with Saul Estrada follows the installation of the sanctuary ceiling, featuring an intricate design by Antonio Martins Design and aoarchitects as painted panels begin to transform the interior into a richly detailed place of worship. We are also taking a deeper dive into the work of Kreysler & Associates whose complex composite molds are making it possible to realize centuries-old Khmer ornament through contemporary fabrication techniques that meet the unique demands of building in California.

It is a remarkable collaboration that continues between artisans, fabricators, and builders, bridging traditional craft with modern technology.

Throughout Hillside Residence, subtle references to the original Art Deco details informed the design. Curved forms, softened corners, integrated pulls, and thoughtfully detailed millwork create continuity that unfolds across multiple scales. Together, these elements create a home where architecture, light, and materiality are woven into a cohesive and deeply lived experience.

At Woodlands Estate, exterior finishes of wood, metal, and stone were carefully chosen for their inherent richness, and a consistent color palette of grays and browns strengthens the home’s integration with the environment. The bronze window material, a living finish, is carried throughout the interior and exterior of this hilltop residence.
