Stephen Atkinson was born in 1967 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He studied architecture at Texas A&M and Harvard Universities. He then apprenticed with the Boston architecture firm, Machado and Silvetti, Associates.

In 2000, he founded his private architecture practice, relocating to Palo Alto, California, where his wife is a tenured art history professor at Stanford University.

Atkinson Architecture is located at 125 University Ave., Suite # 210 near the corner of University Avenue and High St. in downtown Palo Alto.

The office is small and a bit cluttered, but perfect for client meetings and creativity. A conference room is available for larger meetings.

Atkinson Architecture is committed to the production of beautiful and meaningful contemporary architecture. An architecture that is reductive in nature-that is, composed of very few parts, but which add up to a greater whole. These designs may be reflections on a geographic area, prevailing building type, or simply an object's use. Invariably they should be simple and restrained, but convey a dignity and sense of history without affectation or self-consciousness.
