Born and raised in San Francisco and established a passion for design and construction early in his childhood through training in the fine arts, and later, working as a woodworker, carpenter and contractor. He started his college studies in fine arts at the California College of Arts (CCA) and earned a B.A. with honors in Architecture from U.C. Berkeley and a Master of Architecture from Columbia University

1986, Peter left New York City to return to the Bay Area. Became a painter with the new office of Holt Hinshaw Pfau Jones. The company became very successful and won architectural awards and competitions.

1991, Peter established his own small design practice, Pfau Architecture, which was founded on the premise that a more atelier-like organization can do the highest quality work by focusing intensely on selected projects.
