Crispin Barker and Kieran O'Donoghue are hands-on Principals who are most often found on the jobsite, covered in sawdust and ideas. We are engaged, gentle, fair, pragmatic, innovative builders who know how to manage budgets and happiness in a transparent way, and deeply value strong partnerships with our clients and the architects and designers with whom we are fortunate to collaborate. We understand the intricacies of the construction process, enabling us to bring a level of confidence, balance and control to it that offers stability for excelling at the organic elements we so enjoy.
Cabin Fever is a design competition born out of our passion for architectural design, interpretation, and the art of fabrication, and the idea of connecting with colleagues around these topics outside the work-a-day world. We believe that great temporary and semi-temporary residential structures are under-explored, under-designed and overlooked, so, we'd like to change that, and have some fun in the process. For our inaugural year we invited some of the Bay Area's most dynamic architects to join us in breathing fresh air and reinventing the cabin, and eleven of those brilliant firms accepted.
