I value well thought-out, efficient plans and details that make a place feel well crafted. I think that design should revolve around the people who occupy and interact with a building. I want things to feel natural - everything should just work. I don't favor any particular style of architecture but I think that the style of a project should permeate every aspect of a building from its layout to its smallest detail.
I see design as a collaborative process. Everyone has something to contribute, based on their strengths. My goal with each project is to find the right balance between leading the process and collaborating with the client, contractor and other team members in order to find a solution that exceeds everyone's expectations.

Working with Engelhardt Architecture was a gift - Bill made a complicated series of decisions enjoyable and helped us navigate through the process by helping us with decisions no matter how big or small, and by artfully managing the contractor and subs.
Bill's subject matter expertise, considerable experience, and sensitivity to our existing house and how things would fit in resulted in a finished product in which we felt immediately at home, and which I am thankful for everyday.Comprehensive architectural services, from feasibility studies to construction observation.

San Anselmo Renovation 2
Report
New addition houses master bath below and creates a new front porch where the clients can spend time outdoors and enjoy views of Mt. Kitchen was expanded and opened to the dining and living areas to create a modern, open floor plan. Skylights and large cased openings allow for lots of natural light throughout the whole upper floor.
Berkeley Studio
Report
Created high-bay studio for artist who worked on very large canvases. Glazed north end of building to introduce as much indirect natural light as possible and provide beautiful views of the garden. Developed indirect lighting system in cathedral ceiling to allow the artist to work at night. Utilized vertical grain fir, stark white sheetrock, and modern detailing to create a simple but elegant interior.
