Siteline Architecture is dedicated to providing high quality design, focusing on customer service and responsibility to the communities in which we perform. Our years ofexperience living and working in historic Nevada City and GrassValley has helped us to realize a number of prominent projects that satisfy design criteria, ordinances, and the neighborhood.

Siteline knows that while the built environment is our mission to conceive, not an opportunity for an expression of our ego. The ultimate design should be an expression of those who will live, play, or work in and around the spaces we create.

Siteline Architecture opened in June of 2002. The two partners have a combined thirty-eight years experience working in the field of architecture and construction.

The firm is led by Andrew Pawlowski, an architect, and Richard Baker, a designer/project manager.  In collaboration with the client, the site, and the community, they work together to formulate design solutions, engaging the skills of both at various points in the design process.

Andrew’s primary role is the managing architect, and he is the main client contact for the firm’s non-residential projects. Richard is the lead designer and project manager, and he leads client services for all of the firm’s residential projects.

In addition to the two partners, Siteline Architecture has a staff of one designer and two part-time drafters.  Also working with them as consultants are surveyors, an interior designer, and civil, mechanical, and electrical engineers forming a team devoted to their client’s projects.
