We work with both homeowners and developers and our staff offers a full range of design skills ensuring that our projects are completed in a timely manner and to the highest standards. We keep an open mind on questions of style preferring to strike a balance between the best solution for the site, our clients’ preferences, and what is potentially approvable for each particular site. We are committed to environmentally sustainable design practices and have extensive experience in both Orange and Los Angeles counties with a proven ability to navigate complicated approval processes such as the Laguna Beach and Beverly Hills Design Review Board as well as Coastal Commission. We strive for simplicity and an openness to the surrounding landscape that erodes the division between indoor and outdoor spaces homes with an emphasis on texture and natural materials. We make extensive use of glazing systems to maximize views and provide a warm light filled contemporary space. Our projects reflect an interest in modern living and a desire to connect our clients to the beauty of the surrounding natural environment. We are currently working on more than twenty large homes across much of Southern California with additional projects in San Francisco, Vancouver and New York.
