Hillsborough.
Rolling 1-acre minimum estates. Traditional, Mediterranean, and Georgian vernaculars. $6M–$25M.

Our practice in SF Peninsula, applied to Hillsborough.
Atherton is the densest concentration of UHNW households in the United States, and its luxury residential market has shifted meaningfully toward contemporary glass-and-stone architecture over the past decade. We design in the Mediterranean vocabulary for clients who want it — increasingly common as tech-wealth families seek warmth and patina after two decades of modernist saturation — and we partner with specialist modernist architects when a project demands it.
Hillsborough, Woodside, Portola Valley, and Ross preserve the traditional ranch-and-estate vocabulary that maps cleanly to our Central Coast work. San Francisco proper — Pacific Heights, Presidio Heights, Russian Hill — requires a more urban and civic hand; our treatment there emphasizes the layered, collected interior that rewards repeated looking.
