Syncopated Architecture was founded by architect Serina Calhoun in 2009. She studied Architecture in her hometown of Fargo, obtaining her Bachelor of Architecture from North Dakota State University. Upon graduation in 2001, she relocated to the Bay Area, working for a small firm in Burlingame; CSS Architecture (now DTA Architects).
Over the course of three and a half years with them, she learned an invaluable amount about how to make buildings thoughtfully and consciously, working primarily on schools and the occasional single-family home.She then moved on to work for Levy Design Partners in San Francisco; transitioning from making schools to multi-family residential projects.
In 2006 she earned her Architectural license in the State of California after completing all 10 of the required exams. She has worked on a wide variety of project types including schools, multi-family housing, commercial renovations, single family residences, and even high rise construction. Although she has done projects of all different shapes, sizes, and use types, she has always gravitated toward the more personal relationships developed in the course of residential work.

Services
I began this project in March of 2008.
This project was a renovation of an existing house in the Berkeley hills.
The father of one of the clients, Bill Riddle, had completed floor plans and a basic drawing package but was unable to work out the final details, finishes, and on-site coordination.
I took over the project in March of 2008.
My role included helping with all the finish selections, details, precise layouts for the kitchens, bathrooms, windows, fixtures, etc.
Before we began work, my clients had a two story structure, but only the top level was habitable due to the steep hill under the house.

We were thrilled when a former client called us to do another project at their home.
This time, we renovated two of their bathrooms, including their son's shared bathroom and the master bathroom.
Their impeccable style resulted in two gorgeous bathrooms done in marbles, glass tiles, and custom mosaics.
The layout of their sons' shared bathroom was highly inefficient prior to the renovation.
The room was structured as a jack-and-jill with a door from the corridor, and a door from one of the boys' rooms.
