SHELTERWERKES architecture exists to craft environments of clarity and simplicity.

Why does that matter?

Your home or place of business is increasingly complex, even hectic, so the environment that helps you thrive does so without gettting in the way. Your architecture should not compete with your needs or for your attention. Instead, the building you inhabit works for you every day by reminding you when, where and why you are, and what you want to do.

How does it do that?

Simply put, we start with a core idea based on who you are and what you need, then test and apply the idea without distraction or preconception, whether coming from style or from habit. Blending and distilling the conceptual with the empirical, your architecture evolves into something that identifies with you and your needs.

Where does SHELTERWERKES fit in?

With over twenty years of combined experience in architecture working with some of the Bay Area’s most recognized firms, Heather Sanders-Jacob and Evan Jacob have brought these very ideas to the work they have done. From homes to offices to recreation centers, each project reinforced the importance of adding to the built environment something that speaks to the region, the history and the people who live there.
