Timeless Architecture
Thoughtfully Designed for Living
Welcome to Frei Design, a Marin County-based architecture firm specializing in custom residential design. Located in Larkspur, California, we create homes that blend timeless elegance with modern functionality, ensuring they remain beautiful, livable, and inspiring for generations. Our work includes new construction and remodels throughout Marin County, San Francisco, and the Peninsula, always tailored to reflect each client’s unique personality and lifestyle.
Our portfolio spans a wide range of architectural styles, from Victorian, Craftsman, and Spanish to Shingle, Cottage, French Farmhouse, Mountain Chalet, and Japanese-inspired homes. Each design is approached with a strong focus on proportion, natural light, and spatial flow—creating homes that feel harmonious, inviting, and effortlessly functional. A deep connection to outdoor spaces is central to our work, integrating patios, gardens, and natural landscapes to enhance everyday living.
