Ike Baker Velten

BLENDING TRADITIONAL WITH CUTTING-EDGE PROCESSES

Ike Baker Velten (formerly Ike Kligerman Barkley, SF Bay Area) creates a distinctive design rooted in traditional technique yet is modern in its application of sculptural forms, taut detailing, and glass expanses, underlaid with a process that is both rigorous and lighthearted.

IBV's architecture and interior staff work collectively or independently with outside partners. They collaborate with clients, craftspeople, and colleagues to produce personalized living environments and the occasional public building, where each project receives dedication to intimate detailing to highlight each project’s unique location and character.

IBV realizes their projects by blending traditional handicrafts with cutting-edge processes. Structures are imagined and communicated through impressionistic sketches, and digital renders use the latest technologies. From initial designs through construction, they focus on selecting the best materials, ensuring that material integrity remains a hallmark of theirwork. Partner John Ike’s newest book, 9 Houses / 9 Stories (Vendome), explores and celebrates the inextricable bond between the architect and those who implement his vision, a give-and-take that results in singularly designed residences. The Ike Baker Velten office serves clients from the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
