We are a full service architecture firm focusing on modern residential and commercial architecture. We work on projects of different scales from new construction (custom single family homes, townhomes, multi-unit developments) to commercial and residential interiors, outdoor space and rooftop design. We are based in Southern California and are licensed to work in California and Washington states.
APPROACH
We focus on designing from the inside outward creating atmospheres defined by materials, textures, lighting, views, and details tied together into a single balanced and cohesive whole.
INDOOR/ OUTDOOR
Spending time outdoors substantially benefits our health and overall happiness. That is why we are passionate about creating spaces that embrace the outside. We strive to blur the indoor-outdoor boundary and create outdoor spaces that become a seamless extension of the interior and can comfortably be used year-round. Our designs take advantage of the site's surroundings, topography, and views and aim to provide ample natural light.
MINDFUL DESIGN
We strive to design mindfully prioritizing an efficient layout and versatile spaces. We thoughtfully select the materials, structural systems and the amount of glazing all of which significantly affect the cost of the project. In addition, our designs carefully consider solar orientation and its implications including quality of light, shading and heat gain.
