Porter & Erb Architects (PEA) is a design-forward architecture studio based in San Francisco and Montara, specializing in custom residential projects throughout the Bay Area and Northern California. Our work ranges from new homes and renovations to ADUs, retreats, and small multifamily buildings, all grounded in a deep understanding of how buildings are made.

We collaborate closely with our clients, craftspeople, and consultants to create personalized living environments with warmth, texture, and lasting character. Our design process blends conceptual hand sketches with detailed digital models and realistic visualizations, allowing ideas to be explored clearly from the earliest stages.

From concept through construction, we focus on thoughtful, well crafted architecture that feels contemporary yet timeless, spaces shaped by collaboration, materiality, and a strong sense of place.

Porter & Erb Architects are licensed in the State of California and the State of New York.
