PNa+d is a San Francisco based architecture and interior design team specializing in residential, commercial and restaurant projects.
Every project has a story. Our goal is to help make it come to life. From the get go, collaboration is at our core. Through connection, conversation, and creative exploration, we transform ideas into tangible structures that reflect the person, culture, and location in which they reside. Yet we know behind every story, there's so much that goes unseen. The planning, the management, and permitting expertise are coequal to the process.
"Parvathy is delightful to work with on our large scale home renovation in Presidio Heights. She is masterful at bringing our wishes to life and finding creative solutions to challenges. In addition to her excellent skills, she has high EQ and properly navigates issues that come up with others on the project. She has the talent of very senior professionals we've worked with, but she brings fresh ideas that we were lacking."— Suzanne Kane, Client
"Our company recently worked with Parvathy on a challenging project, and we truly appreciated her presence and critical contributions to the team.

Our project has been efficient and fun."— Ben Moore, Mamahuhu

No two projects are alike (thankfully). Our custom, full-service approach looks to take a project's unique properties and turn them into defining strengths.
We can never emphasize enough how important it is to listen. Through a mix of mood boards, walkthroughs, and early meetings, we'll pinpoint your priorities be they aesthetic or functional.
It all starts to synergize here. We take a bird's eye, holistic viewpoint, dialing in your budget and timeline goals so we can begin early feasibility studies with the help of our trusted network of contractors and collaborators.
Once aligned and aware of any constraints, we can design and build with confidence. Even if needs change, our level of craft and collaboration doesn't. Throughout the build process, we'll be on-site and in constant conversation with the builders to ensure what's been dreamed up, doesn't just stay on paper.
Whether you're building from scratch, renovating, or just need a hand figuring out where to start - here's how we can help.
Whether you have a project coming up or one you're still dreaming up, we'd love to hear from you.
