Homes of lasting
distinction.

J & D develops a small number of residential schemes each year, working closely with a handful of architects and holding each site until it is right.

Approach

We develop homes that quietly outlast their era. Each scheme begins with the site — its light, scale, and grain — and is shaped with the patience to let materials, craft, and restraint speak before anything else.

Jersey Residence

Noe Valley, San Francisco · 2020

Jersey Residence

Set along a long, linear parcel in Noe Valley, two units read as one continuous composition. Interlocking volumes move through the plan, tied by oak floors and lit by bright interiors and marble accents that give each room a light, effortless presence.

Dal (Moon) House

Entitled Dal House — Dal meaning Moon in Korean — the project employs apertures, surface textures, curved lines and quiet planes to evoke the Moon's geometry and light across two refined residences.

Noe Valley, San Francisco · TBD

Upper Noe

A hillside residence composed of a warm timber-clad volume set against pale rendered planes, opening to city views through full-height glazing and quietly terraced gardens.

The firm

A single team, from land to key.

We acquire, design, build and hand over ourselves. There is no separate sales vehicle and no white-label contractor — the people who drew your home are the ones who walk you through it.
