Christiani Johnson Architects, a California corporation, was founded in 1994 by Richard Christiani and David Johnson. Both partners have been practicing professionals for over twenty-five years, combining a keen interest in design with a solid grounding in the technical aspects of construction. The majority of our work has consisted of multiple-family and mixed-use projects, in addition to a number of commercial retail and office developments and singie-family residences. The firm has particular expertise with urban infill sites, breathing new life into abandoned or under-utilized properties in San Francisco and surrounding communities. Accompanying the pragmatic responsibilities of function, schedule, and cost is the intangible obligation to create an aesthetically pleasing design. Our concern is not to promote a particular "style", but to discover a specific direction that is appropriate to each individual project. A refined simplicity achieved through scale, proportion and balance is characteristic of our design approach.
