Saltbuilt is a collective of builders, craftsmen, and construction professionals driven by a singular purpose: to create structures that are as enduring as they are intentional.
We partner with architects, designers, and visionaries who push boundaries. Together, we translate bold ideas into built form, fusing utility with artistry, code with creativity, and storytelling of place.
We build with discipline and pride, where nothing is rushed and nothing is left to chance. Our crews measure twice, craft cleanly, and finish with the kind of care that only comes from a deep respect for the process.
At Saltbuilt construction is a craft and our work is built to endure.

New construction of a 6,500 square foot residence in Palo Alto including a main house with basement and guest house. The house was designed and built to be near net-zero energy conservation. Systems include solar, battery backup, solar thermal and a gray water system for irrigation.
Key Highlight
The staircase, Designed by local artist Adam Feibleman, is made from water jet cut plate steel, pre-fabricated offsite and craned into the center of the house through the roof of the building. Each panel represents the Chinese New Year of each family member.
