Structural Engineering Consultant, 2118 Essex St, Berkeley, CA 94705, US

HistoryOur firm was established in 1974 by Max Jacobson and Murray Silverstein who had been colleagues at the Center for Environmental Structure in Berkeley and were among the authors of A Pattern Language. Barbara Winslow joined the partnership in 1981, and Helen Degenhardt joined in 2003. Over the years, our firm has completed over 400 projects. These have been published in several books and in such magazines as Progressive Architecture, Fine Homebuilding, Sunset Magazine, Restaurant Design, Custom Home and The Architectural Review. The partners have written two books, The Good House (Taunton Press, 1990) and Patterns of Home: The Ten Essentials of Enduring Design (Taunton Press, 2002). Fundamentally our concern is to create buildings of quality, appropriate to their settings, and satisfying to the people who inhabit them. We offer the full range of architectural services--from planning and program development, through design and construction documents, to on-site inspection.
