Polsky Perlstein Architects

At Polsky Perlstein Architects, we are a boutique architectural practice with a focus on custom residential projects. Our team is based in the heart of Marin County and we believe that great design comes from strong relationships, a refined process, and a wealth of experience.

Our approach to architecture is centered around people. We understand that the spaces we design are not just structures, but homes where families create memories and individuals build their lives. This is why we strive to create spaces that are tailored to our clients' needs and aspirations. Our design solutions are always rooted in function, and we take the time to get to know our clients and understand how they want to live.

Our diverse portfolio reflects our thoughtful response to site, neighborhood context, and the unique challenges and opportunities presented by each project. Over the years, we have designed hundreds of projects throughout Northern California, as well as in the Lake Tahoe area, Oregon, Idaho, Hawaii, and Connecticut.

We guide our clients through the design and construction process, ensuring that they are fully involved and informed at every stage. Our design approach is inherently three-dimensional, and we utilize cutting-edge design software to build virtual architectural models. This allows our clients to gain a clear understanding of the design from the outset and enables us to smoothly navigate through the various phases of design, approvals, documentation, permitting, and construction.

Our commitment to clear communication and shared understanding allows us to design and build cost-effectively. Over four decades of practice, we have earned a reputation for both our design excellence and our relationship-driven approach. We look forward to the relationships we will continue to build in the years to come.

Projects

Our portfolio showcases a wide range of projects, from new homes to renovations and expansions. We have designed homes that cater to different lifestyles, from family-oriented spaces to wine country getaways. Each project reflects our commitment to understanding our clients' needs and creating spaces that reflect their personality and style.

Our new homes include designs such as the elegantly restrained Wooden Valley Vineyard Home, the modern and sleek Wine Country Farmhouse, and the playful Aptos Beach House. These homes are designed to not only provide functional living spaces but also to take advantage of their surroundings, whether it's a stunning vineyard view or an oceanfront location.

In addition to new homes, we also specialize in renovations and expansions. Our team works closely with clients to understand their goals and vision for their existing space. We then use our expertise to transform the space into a modern, functional, and beautiful home that meets their needs.

Our staff at Polsky Perlstein Architects is dedicated to providing exceptional service and creating homes that our clients will love for years to come. With our focus on relationships and a refined design process, we are confident that we can help you create your dream home.
