John Ward
Principle Architect & Owner
With 30 years of experience and licensed to practice architecture
in 1995 I have enjoyed working on a wide variety of projects including
commercial, food service, hospitality, hotel, adaptive reuse, institutional, public works, light and
heavy industrial and custom residential.
Since moving to the Napa Valley in 1999 I have expanded my
experience to include winery and cave construction.
In December 2008 I formed Ward Architects and look forward to
furthering my career in the Napa Valley and surrounding areas.
I have lived
and worked in Sacramento and currently reside and practice
architecture in the California Napa Valley.
Philosophy
My aim is to create a vision for the client or to take a client's
vision and make it become a reality.
I wish to respect the environment as well as time honored
techniques within the architectural profession. In addition, I
believe it is important to be knowledgeable about the latest in
technology, products, and eco-trends as they pertain not only to the
world of architecture but also the world as a whole.
In my opinion, a successful project pays homage to the past,
present, and future.
