ERICA SEVERNS

Erica Severns is a Licensed Architect in Northern California specializing in residential architecture and interiors... As a licensed architect specializing primarily on Northern California residential architecture, my greatest joy is imagining how a home will be experienced. Many firms offer a multitude of services on many building types as if they were interchangeable. I see a distinct difference between the practice of residential and commercial design, and I focus on asking questions that are crucial for success. I strive to provide designs that are fresh yet timeless. Most people will recount how light filtered through a certain window in a childhood home, where they like to work in their kitchen, and which floor surface feels best on their feet in the morning. Residential architecture is about designing those poetic moments. A client once told me, "a house is like an old friend" and that thought drives the process most days... Most architects, including myself, define their work..
