Orion Watkins grew up in the small town of Glen Ellen, California in Sonoma County. As a young boy Orion was able to learn first hand the form and function of a building by going to construction sites with his father. As he grew up he began working with his father’s construction company and enjoyed building every aspect of the home, from the framing to the finishing touches. This experience ignited a passion in Orion to pursue a career in Architecture.

Orion began his studies at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, California. Here he met his wife and after graduating they decided to move to her home town of Grass Valley, California in the Sierra Foothills. Here he began his own Architectural Firm that services both Sonoma and Nevada Counties.
