Adam Mayberry, AIA, NCARB, MRED
Architect / Managing Principal
Adam founded Mayberry Workshop out of a desire to use his background in architecture and real estate development to positively impact the communities around him. He is driven by a desire to find creative housing solutions for all people. He gravitates towards residential design because of its ability to impact people at the individual level.
Adam is especially skilled in leveraging master planning, zoning, and spatial relationships to find the highest and best use of properties. He has become a trusted partner because of his ability to help his clients reach their goals in ways they did not think possible.
Adam holds a Master of Science in Real Estate Development for Architects degree from Woodbury University San Diego and a Bachelor’s of Architecture degree from Cal Poly SLO. He serves on the San Jose Downtown Association’s Downtown Design Committee and Advocacy Committee and on the SPUR Urban Catalyst Committee.

When not working, Adam enjoys soaking up the sun with his wife, three daughters and Oona the Great Pyrenees/Shepherd Mix.
Aaron Van Roo
Vice President of Constructibility
With a background in construction, Aaron makes certain that buildings are getting designed with the realities of constructibility in mind. This includes an early analysis of what true construction costs will be, helping to eliminate rounds of value engineering.
His company, Mission City Construction, has a unique relationship with Mayberry Workshop. Together they offer design-build services for custom homes and commercial tenant improvements. He is an integral part of the Mayberry design team serving as project manager and providing constructibility reviews. His natural curiosity brings a level of thoroughness to the design process.
Aaron has a Bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley where he studied
Rhetoric & History, Classics, History, Business, and Civil Engineering. As he was about to embark on the LSATs he switched paths and became a project manager at a construction firm, never looking back. In his free time, he can be found with his family living life to its fullest, camping, participating in sports, hiking, boating and more.

What’s in a Name.
Mayberry Workshop’s founder, Adam, was long inspired by his Great-Grandfather and his carpentry and model-making workshop behind the family home in Massachusetts. Being community-driven, Adam likes to draw parallels with a desire to make his community a better place. Very much like the fictitious town in North Carolina by the same name and with the same ideals. Drawing on these two sources of inspiration, Mayberry Workshop was born. We are a Workshop. We iterate and explore possibilities. And enhancing community is at the heart of everything we do.
