About Keith Abel Design...

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay area.  In High School I won a silly little award for my skills in woodworking & drafting.  A Home builder read the article in the local paper and commissioned me to design a spec home for him.  I was only 18 years old and I really had no idea what I was doing but I took on the challenge.  He liked the design and he then also hired me to work on his framing crew.  Once on the job site I knew I wanted to get a degree in Architecture and make designing homes my life’s work.  Thirty plus years later and I still love creating beautiful unique spaces for you and your neighborhood.
