John Malick and Associates is an architectural and interior design firm that specializes in the creation of historically inspired buildings.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, our firm's classically trained architects draw from numerous historical styles, including English Arts and Crafts, Mediterranean, and Georgian Colonial. Each project reflects the spirit of a unique time and place, while also addressing current needs and budgets.

We abandoned the modern idiom more than a decade ago because its persistent standardization neglected to tell the real story about our buildings' inhabitants. We chose instead to return to a time when buildings reflected noble achievements, pastoral visions and sacred resonances. We cherish the sophistication of a Palladian neoclassical villa, the warmth of a Yorkshire cottage and the sun-washed simplicity of a mediterranean village nestled in the hills.

We embrace construction methods that revive the lost art of craftsmanship. Time-tested materials and picturesque details such as post-and-beam construction reflect the care and craft that are the signatures of artistic attention. Authentic finishes and hardware infuse a sense of beauty and livability rarely achieved by modern architecture.

The design process begins with what our clients find evocative - places they have visited, things they have seen, their personality and their dreams. To ensure the highest level of design quality, each project receives the personal attention of the firm's principal, John Malick, who brings more than 23 years of architectural experience to the practice. The many completed homes and buildings designed by the firm throughout Northern California are evidence of its success since its establishment in 1989.
