25 years ago, Dorman Associates opened a studio in Marin County.

Last night, we gathered to celebrate that belief — and the incredible journey it’s taken us on.

From our first residential projects in Marin County to designing Flora Farms in Baja, from rethinking how children learn through architecture to crafting hospitality spaces that create lasting memories — every project has been shaped by the clients, collaborators, and community who trusted us with their vision.

To everyone who joined us last night, and to every client, contractor, and teammate who’s been part of our story over these 25 years — thank you.

Here’s to the next chapter. 🥂

“Symmetry.”
As architects, we’re taught that balance often comes from perfect symmetry — but I’ve found that true character emerges when spaces lean into asymmetry. A slightly off-center window, a staircase that bends unexpectedly, or a façade that plays with rhythm instead of repetition — these moments invite curiosity and make people pause.
Breaking symmetry isn’t about ignoring order; it’s about creating tension that feels alive. Architecture should spark emotion, not just check boxes.
So yes, I’ll happily bend the rule of symmetry if it means designing spaces that surprise, delight, and feel uniquely human.

We had the opportunity to host a community event featuring Marin County Supervisor, Stephanie Moulton-Peters. It was a wonderful evening of discussion, education, and support for our local community. Stephanie took a moment to share her invaluable insights and creative solutions regarding pressing issues that affect our Tam Junction neighbors, including sea level rise, traffic congestion, and parking. In addition to addressing local concerns, we shed a spotlight on nonprofits in the Bay Area. Featuring our partnerships with the North Bay Children’s Center, Habitat for Humanity, and Marin Horizon Foundation.
