About
John Malick & AssociatesJohn Malick and Associates is an architectural firm specializing in classical design. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, our architects draw from numerous historical styles, including English Arts and Crafts, Tuscan, and Neoclassical. 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. Each of our projects reflects the spirit of a unique time and place, while at the same time addressing present-day requirements.
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 35 years of architectural experience to the practice. The many award-winning homes and buildings designed by the firm throughout Northern California is evidence of its success since its establishment in 1989.
