About

Walker Warner is co-founded by Brooks Walker and Greg Warner, who met while attending the University of Oregon, sharing a passion for architecture and fly fishing.

The firm moves to 835 Terry Francois Boulevard, an industrial neighborhood in San Francisco, enjoying the perks of office barbecues overlooking the Bay.

A coed softball team is formed to participate in the San Francisco Architects, Engineers & Contractors league. Over 35 years and countless RBIs later, it still remains a fun way to spend time with colleagues.

On the occasion of its 10th anniversary, Walker Warner is designing homes in some of California’s most extraordinary and remote settings, a reflection of the trust it has earned from its clients.

The first Rocky Mountain project is completed in Idaho, making a name for the firm in the region and paving the way for future design opportunities in Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming.

The office moves to the historic E.M. O’Donnell Copper Works building in South of Market. Built in 1921, the former copper foundry now exists as a diamond in the rough, renovated to be an inviting space that maintains a sense of history.
