The name "Madroño" is Spanish for the madrone tree (Arbutus menziesii), a handsome evergreen found on wooded slopes and canyons in California. The beauty, durability, and integrity of this tree symbolizes the work of the studio: creative design, innovative materials, and superior craftsmanship.

San Francisco Design/Build

With an eye on the natural and aesthetic identity of the Bay Area, we design and build locally appropriate landscapes rich in color, texture, aroma, and natural symbiosis (birds and butterflies love our work too).

Modern Creative Studio

Our design studio on the frontier of the Mission and Potrero Hill is an open-plan workspace shared with architects and graphics professionals, a rich source of creative cross-pollination. We host art exhibits, cocktail parties, and other events; please email us to get on the mailing list, or connect with us on Facebook for regular updates.
