Anderson Architecture & Planning

What Anderson Architecture & Planning does

Anderson Architecture & Planning is a privately held architectural and planning firm based in Santa Rosa, California, founded in 1983 as Hedgpeth Architects by Warren Hedgpeth and renamed in 2022 following his passing. The firm is now led by Principal Architect Ingrid Anderson and Senior Project Manager John Anderson, supported by senior designers Paul Gilger (30-year tenure, 2,500+ houses designed) and Robert Beall. The practice delivers professional architectural services spanning schematic design through construction administration and post-occupancy evaluation, with a portfolio organized around five service categories: single-family custom homes, multi-family apartments (projects ranging from 20 to 151 units), planned subdivisions, commercial projects (healthcare, restaurants, retail), and mixed-use developments.

The firm's technical capabilities center on sustainable design (LEED AP BD&C credentialing), entitlements and community-integrated design, and modular construction expertise. Anderson Architecture & Planning operates a sales-led, direct-engagement model serving developers, non-profit housing organizations, healthcare providers, government agencies, and individual homeowners, primarily across Sonoma County and broader Northern California including Vacaville, Rohnert Park, Petaluma, San Rafael, and Mill Valley. Notable clients include Marin Community Clinics (15 cumulative projects), Burbank Housing, Boudin SF, Safari West Wildlife Preserve, Stanford University, and the Sixth Street Playhouse. Distribution relies on project portfolio showcasing, client testimonials, Yelp presence, and referral networks rather than digital marketing.

The business model is project-based professional services with quote-driven, non-publicly-disclosed pricing. Revenue derives from architectural fees on individual development projects rather than recurring contracts or platform monetization. The firm maintains no subsidiaries, has no institutional investors or funding rounds, and is independently owned by its principal architects. There are no AI/ML capabilities, software products, or technology platforms — the firm operates as a traditional architecture practice whose competitive position rests on regulatory expertise, long-standing municipal relationships, and a four-decade project portfolio in affordable housing, healthcare, and community-scale development.
