About Marcie

I have practiced architecture in the SF Bay Area, Washington DC, Pittsburgh PA and Moscow, Russia since 1993. I’ve worked on large scale projects for multinational corporations,government buildings, and numerous unique, site-specific non-profit and residential projects with an emphasis on sustainability. Some project highlights include:

  • Pixar Headquarters in Emeryville, CA

  • Moscow headquarters for Caterpillar & JP Morgan

  • UC Berkeley forest research field station in Mendocino County 

  • A novel 2-story strawbale lodge and conference center in the Sierra foothills

  • A waterfront home in Point Richmond (previously owned by Marshawn Lynch) 

In addition to architecture, I have worked in environmental education, nonprofit business management, and construction/remodeling project management. Outside of work, I am an avid gardener with a permaculture certificate. I love all forms of art, travel and adventure, including building sandcastles (5 time champs), pumpkin carving, crocheting, pysanky, cooking and preserving, and birdwatching. My husband and I have two beautiful boys, a cute pooch, a green frog, and 2 feral tabby cats.

Firm Profile

With years of experience in award-winning, energy-efficient design and project management, I am design and detail oriented while maintaining a strong sense of cost and scheduling. I value the work of local artisans and tradespeople, as well as strong, communication with clients and colleagues. I have had additional training in historic preservation, and a passion for renovating and remodeling structures of historic significance. 

I offer full design, architectural, project managerial and client representation services for residential, non-profit, institutional and commercial construction projects. I focus on projects up to $2M, but have a network of colleagues with whom I can partner for larger projects.

If your nonprofit is in need of architectural services, please do not hesitate to contact me to ask if there is a lo-bono solution or opportunity.
