Our Firm
Gunkel Architecture is a 15-person (and growing) Emeryville-based firm that specializes in residential, educational, and mixed-use projects. Principal Brad Gunkel founded the firm in 2013 with an intent to create dynamic and inspiring environments that foster dignity and empower the end users. Our work in affordable housing reflects our belief that housing is a human right.
Collaboration is a vital component of our process. Our projects often require a community of stakeholders to create a shared vision out of individual desires. We support our clients in design and management from the earliest stages of design through project close-out. Our team includes licensed architects experienced with a range of project types and scales. We bring a high level of care, well-rounded knowledge, and attention to detail to every phase of every project. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide the advocacy, process, and visualization tools necessary to channel diverse visions into an inspired and cohesive whole.
Gunkel Architecture is a registered Alameda County Small Local & Emerging Business (SLEB) and Women-Business Enterprise (WBE).
