Dotter & Solfjeld Design & Architecture

We are based in the San Francisco Bay Area and have done projects throughout California, several other states and Europe. We design everything from large custom homes to cost effective more modest remodels and small commercial projects. We design unique homes in both traditional and contemporary styles. Through extensive traveling and living abroad we have become experts on traditional architectural styles and found inspiration and fresh ideas to incorporate into our contemporary designs.

We listen to your ideas and work closely with you to create your dream home. Getting to know you and your lifestyle, will help us customize the home to fit your unique needs. Although we are bursting with ideas and creativity, your vision will always come before our ego. We study your property extensively before we start the design process. We spend a full day at the site, from the sunrise to sunset, recording the light patterns and studying the natural elements.

We begin sketching at the lot, taking care that each room gets the perfect orientation and the light desired at the time of day the room is to be used.
