A contemporary restaurant remodel project that received both the 2017 Award of Merit from the Washington DC AIA and the 2017 Pacific Coast Gold Nugget Grand Prize. The restaurant features electrochromic glass which can change from pitch black to ultra clear with the flip of the switch. The glass was essential in achieving a clean look while avoiding heat gain and preserving views to the historic National Post Office Courtyard.
I served as the project architect, and took the project from initial concept stages through construction and closeout. This Sea Cliff home was originally built in 1946, and had suffered from water damage and dry rot throughout its history. The owner had a desire to update the home with a more modern aesthetic.
We replaced three existing columns with a long-span header, which allowed for the installation of a 12ft continuous operable sliding door panel. Laser cut powder coated aluminum panels serve as a shade canopy across the face of the building. The redwood siding came from Arborica, a master sawyer and provider of salvaged lumber in the Bay Area.

I believe that architecture and design can be a means for self-discovery and personal development. A daily connection with your sense of place can be rewarding for personal health and happiness. I'd like to work with people who want to improve their life conditions through architecture and design. I strive for authenticity in the work that I do, and look forward to developing my practice based on the principles outlined below.

We are an engineering firm and worked with Danny based on the design plans he sent over. His plans were well put together. He is responsive, clear plans and good team work on the projects. We look forward to continuing to work with Danny on future projects.

Danny worked with us on a complicated remodel of a 3rd floor and attic space for an Edwardian from 1900. He was incredibly creative in his visualization of the potential of the space, and also listened and responded to our preferences and needs to remodel our dream home. We learned so much throughout the process, and he was accessible and enjoyable to work with throughout. Highly recommend!

Danny is a skilled professional who is dedicated to top quality design and construction. He designed an innovative solution to bringing light into our home using a combination of skylights and glass-flooring in our attic. He was meticulous in his research of different solutions, vendors and contractors, and even discovered old building plans for our home. Danny's artistic flare is also evident through his side projects, such as large home/office wood furnishings. I thoroughly recommend Bittiker Architecture to anyone seeking thoughtful, skilled and dedicated professionals.
