Ken Linsteadt Architects is known for creating beautiful spaces that reflect the context and spirit of the site, the dreams of the client, and the artistic overlay and passion of the architect. Guided by principal Ken Linsteadt, the San Francisco-based firm focuses primarily on custom residential design. Ken has been practicing architecture for more than 30 years and has apprenticed with such luminaries as Philip Johnson in New York, and Skidmore Owings and Merrill in San Francisco. He opened his own practice in 1998. The firm infuses its design with the language of modern and traditional architecture, often exploring the interplay of the two.
