Our goal is to bring your vision to life. Doing so takes equal parts creativity and know-how. Because we only work on homes, we're experts in both the design and management of your project. Our team will guide you every step of the way. The Drafting Cafe team designed the master bedroom/bathroom addition to our house in Berkeley. He was very responsive, helped us talk through our options, and got us everything we needed on schedule.
All of our construction passed through the permitting process without a hitch and we are very happy with how everything turned out. Drafting cafe Architects helped me with my ADU project and I can't begin to express how happy I am with their service! They were always quick to respond and even guided me through the plan submission process! They made adjustments to the plans as needed without ever hinting at any sort of inconvenience even though they were busy!
Michael and Jennifer are the best and I would absolutely recommend them! Thank you guys for making this process so seemless for someone like me who felt so out of my depth!

In 2010, founder and principal architect Ethan Andersen recognized that there was demand for a different kind of architecture firm - one that could facilitate and realize the vision of all homeowners.
While many architects want to design projects with their signature style, fewer architects are happy to add on a bedroom or deck, remodel a basement, or gut a bathroom.
Ethan set out to rethink how to facilitate - not dictate - architectural services, and created Drafting Cafe.
The goal was to grow a resource and experience-rich firm that could work closely with homeowners to provide superb designs, on-time delivery, and reasonable fees.

In 2010 Ethan began Drafting Cafe out of a desire to define a new type of architecture firm with more commitment to client service and transparency.
A well-rounded designer with experience working on projects ranging from wineries and restaurants to single-family homes and remodels, Ethan grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and attended Philadelphia University where he received his Bachelor of Architecture degree.
His collaborative approach and ability to transform ideas into beautiful spaces has earned him the opportunity to design for HGTV's "Curb Appeal" alongside show host John Gidding.
