ARCHITECTURE, INTERIORS & LANDSCAPE, DESIGNED TOGETHER FROM THE START
We create modern homes and spaces shaped by the people who live and work in them and by the distinct landscapes of Northern California. We bring architecture, materials, light, and outdoor space together in a cohesive whole that feels grounded, considered, and deeply connected to place.
Three Principals. One Standard.
Every project is led with the direct involvement of all three Tierney Conner principals. Their distinct expertise informs the work from the earliest conversations through design development and final detailing, giving each project the benefit of three experienced perspectives and a shared standard of excellence throughout.
What To Expect In Working Together
-
We lead with design, not just logistics. From the first schematic ideas through the final details, we keep returning to how your spaces can work—and feel—better, providing a consistently higher level of design focus throughout the entire process.
-
We are involved from early concept through permitting and construction, helping carry the design intent into the built work. We map the process from the start, so you understand each phase, who is involved, and what comes next.
-
We understand both the practical realities and the design sensibilities of building in Northern California, from wildfire-resilient homes in Wine Country and steep East Bay hillsides to seismic requirements across the Bay Area. Our regional expertise also reflects the character of Northern California living, with strong indoor-outdoor connections, natural materials, abundant daylight, integrated landscapes, and sustainable design strategies suited to the climate. Because planning, zoning, and permitting requirements vary widely by jurisdiction, we begin code and planning research early so constraints can inform the design rather than disrupt it later.
-
We guide the scope, budget, schedule, and construction realities with clear recommendations and the flexibility to adjust as the project evolves.
