John Maniscalco Architecture

In work that spans urban, high mountain, wine country, and coastal environments, our work endeavors to enhance the experience of these places by creating concept-rich, architecturally quiet compositions for users to observe, discover, and understand the natural world in unexpected ways.

The work of our studio serves as an exploration of place - homes that reveal themselves over time

as mechanisms that foster discovery, experience, and delight in the natural world in and around each project.

We create architecture that celebrates contrast :

prospect and refuge, boldness and subtlety, vastness and intimacy, solidity and lightness.

Equal parts earth and sky, the projects pair surreal detachment with a deep connection to place.
