Common Sense Design is a small architecural design firm located in Sonoma County, California. We work collaboratively to create innovative, non-generic buildings and places which are respectful of the local built traditions, thoughtfully integrated into the natural landscape, designed in consonance with the local climate, built with honest materials, and which evoke a sense of playfulness.

We call it “spirited green architecture.”

In addition to offering the full soup-to-nuts architectural services for small projects, we offer smaller bundles of practical, no-nonsense advice and design ideas in the form of design consultations as well as green building consultations.
