Before a property owner, housing developer, or institutional board calls (510) 420-1484, they review bayarch.com. Today, three moments on the existing site undersell four decades of architectural leadership.
Multi-family housing developments, commercial rehabilitations, and BAHA award-winning landmarks sit inside small galleries without unit counts, construction types, or project narratives.
What we build: Full-bleed sector portfolios with architectural spec sheets.Developers and institutional clients searching for an East Bay architect with deep City of Berkeley zoning, community outreach, and Type V code mastery must hunt through dense paragraphs.
What we build: Dedicated capabilities & awards showcase for selection panels.The current Contact page uses raw spacing without a guided project inquiry form, interactive map to 1840B Alcatraz Avenue, or one-tap calling to (510) 420-1484.
What we build: Guided project scope intake routed straight to James & Andrea.
