Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture's distinct body of work places its clients' individual narratives in conversation with the land to create designs with deeply personal meanings. As the principal and founder of Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture, based out of San Francisco, Ms. Cochran maintains a diverse set of projects to foster a cross-pollination of ideas between residential gardens and commercial and institutional projects. Ms. Cochran is a leader in her local design community and a strong believer in civic contribution. She currently serves as a commissioner on the civic design committee of the San Francisco Arts Commission and on the executive board for the Architecture and Design Forum at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Ms. Cochran was a finalist in Landscape Architecture for the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards in 2006.






We believe that our homes and neighborhoods should be healthy, vibrant places that uplift the spirit and gracefully fit our needs. We call for an end to poor construction, bad design, misleading marketing, unfair lending practices and environmental neglect in the housing industry. We acknowledge our collective responsibility to create CLOSE, SIMPLE, LIGHT places to live that leave a positive legacy for future generations.

provides design focused information that homeowners can use to improve the quality of how and where they live. It takes its name from the slow food movement which arose as a reaction to the processed food industry. The sprawl of cookie cutter housing that surrounds us is like fast food - standardized, homogenous, and wasteful. It contributes to a too fast life that is bad for us, our cities, and the environment. In the same way that slow food raises awareness of the food we eat and how these choices affect our lives, Slow Home empowers you to take more control of your home and improve the quality of how you live while reducing your environmental impact and futureproofing the long term investment value of your home.
