The goal of adbc architecture is to create architecture that enhances quality of life. We are committed to designing spaces which people enjoy using because they are beautiful. Beauty is achieved through the special attention we pay to clean modern lines, attention to details and structure. We create spaces that integrate the indoors and outdoors, bring light within, are connected to the site and landscape. We are committed to sustainability and use green building materials and systems. Our collaboration with our clients is an opportunity to listen and learn from one another to achieve successful and unique projects.

Adriana is a licensed Architect and has also been practicing architecture in the bay area for 13 years. She has a Master's of Architecture from UC Berkeley. Adriana was born and raised in Romania, and is influenced in practice by her upbringing in socialist housing in a communist country.

She bikes everywhere and enjoys gardening.
