The Firm
Mark English and his associates at Mark English Architects strive to create beautiful modern architecture, exploring the power of simple forms and spaces specific to place and client desire.
Each project is a new exploration with innovation and creativity balanced by common sense and experience. Since it’s founding in 1992, Mark English Architects has designed numerous residential and small commercial spaces throughout California, Texas and in Mexico. The Firm has a special interest in building in the urban context, with half of its work occurring in San Francisco.
Mark English Architects is an architectural firm known for creating unique, thoughtful spaces while providing consistent and committed professional service.
We integrate new technologies of virtual building modeling into architectural design practice and construction. The quality of the work has gained both international and local media praise.
The Firm is located in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood above the venerable Tosca Cafe on Columbus Avenue.
