Architect Visit: Walker Warner Architects in Northern California

July 4, 2011

As high summer approaches, we're thinking about the appeal of outdoor rooms. San Francisco-based Walker Warner Architects (a member of the Remodelista Architect/Designer Directory) is especially good at creating intimate outdoor spaces that encourage reading, working, lounging, and dining. Led by principals Brooks Walker and Greg Warner, the firm has completed projects in California wine country, Idaho, and Hawaii, with an emphasis on indoor/outdoor living; to see more, go to Walker Warner Architects.
