Mark English Architects

Mark English Architects is located in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco, in a 1940 former studio of sculptors Robert Howard and Adaline Kent. The building is perfect for our practice; full of natural light, logical and beautifully sculpted for its use. Our practice is built on providing design that is sustainable because it is sensible and flexible, built to last. We have been providing beautifully tailored homes, work and entertainment spaces since 1992. Mark English, AIA, is principal.  A Bay Area native, he offers a designer’s sense of artistry supported by practical knowledge gained from years of direct hands-on building experience. Mark earned a bachelor of architecture degree at California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo, and a master of architecture degree at the Syracuse University campus in Florence, Italy. The firm has designed numerous residential and entertainment spaces throughout California, Texas and Mexico. The firm has a special interest in building in the urban context, with half of its work in San Francisco.
