Hans Baldauf

Between 2012 and 2015, he designed five of Belcampo Meat Company's California restaurants and butcher shops.

In 2003, the Maybeck Foundation and the City of San Francisco created a public-private partnership to restore and preserve the Palace of Fine Arts. As Chairman of the Maybeck Foundation, Hans helped with the creation of a palace master plan, which would organize future preservation efforts. The same year, he helped to gather the San Francisco design community for the creation of several pavilions at Slow Food Nation.

In 1997 Hans formed the architectural and design firm BCV alongside two other former BAR architects. The firm was chosen to design the San Francisco Ferry Building Marketplace in 1999. Prior to its restoration the ferry structure had, over the years, grown derelict--standing apart from the modern transportation infrastructure of San Francisco. Hans' vision of its redevelopment included brick arches with custom metal folding gates and a restored historic 660-foot long grand nave. The building now serves as popular market hall.

In 1992 he returned to the Bay Area, where he secured a position at the San Francisco firm Backen, Arrigoni and Ross (BAR) the same year.

After two years in Chicago, Hans took the post of visiting assistant professor at the University of Notre Dame's Rome studies program for the 1991-1992 academic year. In addition to his teaching duties in Rome, Hans continued to supervise the construction of the Sea Pine House by flying back to California every six weeks, and sending revised plan details to his contractor via fax machine.

Baldauf obtained a Bachelor of Arts in History, Arts and Letters from Yale in 1981. As an undergraduate he and five other students organized a widely attended conference that examined the economic and cultural problems affecting New Haven, Connecticut. The Third Bay Tradition and the work of Kent Bloomer in particular shaped his artistic development. In his senior thesis, Hans focused on the interplay between public and private property reflected in the architectural layout of Sea Ranch, California. He went on to obtain a Master of Architecture degree from Yale in 1988, and soon afterward began the design phase of The Sea Pine House in Sea Ranch while working as a professional architect for Tom Beeby's firm in Chicago.

Hans Baldauf FAIA LEED AP, (born 20 February 1959) is an American architect with interests in sustainable food culture and traditional market halls. His work includes farm-to-table restaurants, wineries, and food halls. In 2014 he served on the board of directors for the Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture (CUESA). Over the past two decades he has written about, lectured on and restored buildings designed by the early pioneers of California's Beaux-Arts movement.

The Hollywood Park Master Plan designed by Hans will encompass a mixed-use community including residential, retail, and office space on the 238-acre site of the former Hollywood Race Track. The plan includes a mixed use town center, which constitutes over 575,000 sq. ft. of buildings. At the center of the City of Inglewood, this development will build on the characteristics of the Los Angeles town centers that grew up throughout the basin in the 1920s and 1930s.
