Atkinson Architecture is a small, high-profile, architecture practice located in downtown Palo Alto, California. Stephen Atkinson, principal, handles all aspects of project design and client interaction. We are committed to producing beautiful and meaningful contemporary architecture, composed of very few parts, which add up to a greater whole. These designs may be reflections on a geographic area, a prevailing building type, or simply an object's use. Invariably they should be simple and restrained, conveying a dignity and sense of history without affectation or self-consciousness.
