We work collectively with our clients to design new homes that enrich and elevate everyday lives. Sum Of All Parts is a residential design-build practice that focuses on new hillside residences. Our studio is embedded in Stayner Architects.

Houses on hillsides present a special challenge — the integration of a new dwelling into a sloped site and its surrounding landscape. Hillsides afford a dramatic stage for living — offering expansive views and immediacy to nature, while also being prone to natural forces of geological instability, extreme weather, and wildfire. We collaborate with our clients to reconcile these dynamics with your unique lifestyle through thoughtful architectural solutions.
