Richard Kasten The diverse career of Richard C. Kasten spans 30 years of responsible experience in Architecture, Project Management and Interior Design & Decoration. Educated at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, where he was granted the degree of Bachelor of Architecture in 1970, his studies included extensive European Travel and a foreign study program in LaNapoule, France. Commencing his career as an apprentice architect with the Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, he focused on absorbing the technical aspects of Construction Detailing, a background, which contributes technical insight to his Design Process. Arriving in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1981, Mr. Kasten has been responsible for Design & Management of significant high-rise developments throughout the Bay Area, including the Crossroads in San Mateo, Concord Centre, and the McCandless Towers Development in Santa Clara. While focusing on Interior Architecture in the late 1980's, he took the lead role in numerous new and renovation projects, such as Birk's Restaurant, Santa Clara, and the Los Altos Public Library Expansion. As an Architect and Interior Designer, in partnership with David Harris, Mr. Kasten is responsible for the sensitive restoration, expansion, and updating of significant estate properties and apartment residences throughout Northern California. Current projects include restoration and conversion of a historic North Bay barn into a Guest House and a new home in the Sierra style in Sonoma, California.
