While searching for a unique property, Mark Jensen and Johanna Grawunder stumbled upon a "vertiginous riverside lot with a house in far worse condition than the average fixer-upper." Mark describes the discovery: "It felt like unearthing a hidden treasure in Pompeii." Explore the Russian River Cabin in the New York Times. Thank you The New York Times for the lovely article. Thank you Joe Fletcher for another incredible set of photos.

About us
At Jensen Architects we are passionate about creating buildings and environments that enrich the experiences of organizations and individuals. Guided by a responsibility to achieve the most using the fewest resources and to engage a broader cultural perspective, we develop solutions that embody each client’s values and larger purpose. Our wide-ranging portfolio—encompassing arts, education, residential, workplace and retail—is underpinned by an abiding interest in how we live and work today, and the pleasure we take in collectively solving design challenges through research, unconventional thinking, and a focus on craft. The economy and directness in our work reflects not only a clear concern for ecological sustainability, but also a deep appreciation of the inherent beauty that emerges when functional, experiential and environmental goals are efficiently and gracefully resolved. We are recognized for innovative applications of proven building systems and materials and valued for our collaborative approach to design and construction. Our accomplishments are rooted in a culture of camaraderie that fosters longstanding relationships with clients, consultants, and colleagues. We offer clients an opportunity for creative exchange that informs our practice as much as the resulting work.

Exciting News! We're happy to share that College Preparatory School was recognized with an Honor Award at the 2023 AIA East Bay Design Awards! The College Preparatory School is known for its forward-looking mission, one that encompasses environmental stewardship and community engagement. Tucked within Oakland’s hilly Rockridge neighborhood, the independent high school has long demanded a level of innovation to make the most of its sloping topography and wooded grounds. JENSEN replaced outdated portable classrooms with flexible, modern academic buildings, ultimately unlocking broader opportunities to advance College Prep’s vision for a sustainable campus that teaches by example. Congratulations to our collaborators!
