Architecture That Lives

At Eric Shephard Architects, we believe architecture is more than buildings—it’s an experience. Every space we design is meant to be lived in, felt, and remembered. From the moment you arrive, our work aims to delight the senses: forms that unfold around you, materials that invite touch, light that animates interiors, and details that spark curiosity. We create spaces that are comfortable yet intriguing, fun yet purposeful spaces that truly reflect the people who inhabit them.

Design, for us, begins with listening. Understanding our clients’ lives, aspirations, and values allows us to craft buildings that elevate everyday experiences. Each project becomes a story told in wood, glass, stone, and light—a narrative of lifestyle, culture, and place.

Our Team, Your Partner
We’re a small, dedicated team offering full-service design, construction documents, and construction support across diverse project types. For more than 20 years, we’ve cultivated a staff with deep expertise and a breadth of experience. We know that great design takes time—and that the right team transforms every hour into value and equity for our clients. Our client support program guides you through the design process, clarifies complex decisions, and makes the journey from concept to completion both smooth and rewarding.

Crafting Legacy
Eric Shephard, Californian and multi-generation U.C. Berkeley graduate (‘92), brings curiosity, care, and craftsmanship to every project. A frequent traveler and passionate observer of architecture and culture, Eric finds inspiration in the garden, sketchbook, workshop, and trails of the natural world. Raised by a teacher and an artist, he carries a profound respect for the legacy of building arts, for spaces that endure, and for the people who create them.

A committed mentor, community contributor, and proud father, Eric believes that thoughtful guidance enriches everyone—from clients to staff to the next generation of designers. His practice embodies this ethos, producing architecture that balances beauty, function, and meaning.
