Our design work showcases a refined take on regional California modernism. Our projects span from organic residential homes, contemporary interiors, and warm industrial commercial spaces.
Architectural Style & Characteristics
-
Warm Regional Modernism: While the structural forms lean clean and geometric, the architecture avoids looking cold or clinical. By blending sharp, modern lines with rich, organic materials—such as deep-toned woods, natural stone, and smooth concrete—our work feels deeply rooted in the Southern California landscape.
-
Indoor-Outdoor Integration: True to California’s mid-century heritage, our designs frequently employ massive glass expanses, floor-to-ceiling windows, and pocketing doors. Spaces like our Pine Needles, Mountain Song, and Potato Chip Rock Residences open directly to pool decks and outdoor dining pavilions, making the surrounding environment a literal extension of the living space.
-
Textural Contrast & Material Integrity: Our architectural language heavily relies on letting raw materials speak for themselves. You see a beautiful tension between industrial elements like sleek steel structures and exposed hardware contrasting with soft, earthy finishes like warm wood paneling, textured tiles, and stone.
-
Clarity of Form & Volume: Our spatial designs utilize soaring ceilings and open-concept volumes. Instead of dividing spaces with heavy walls, the architecture uses architectural features—like floating staircases, open kitchens, or dropped ceiling planes—to subtly define “zones” within a home while keeping sight lines clear.
Notable Project Highlights
-
Residential (Pine Needles, Potato Chip Rock, Fire Mountain Residence): These homes showcase our skillsets solving complex hillside and/or coastal terrains. The homes utilize cantilevered decks and strategic site orientation to maximize natural light and views while maintaining privacy. Kitchens and bathrooms feature highly tailored, minimalist custom cabinetry and integrated lighting to create Zen spa environments.
-
Commercial & Restaurant Spaces (Arclinea, El Rey, Extraordinary Desserts): In our commercial work, we lean into a sharper, more industrial aesthetic utilizing custom steel details, wood accents, and custom-fabricated furniture features (like the distinct bench detailing at Extraordinary Desserts) to build tactile, energetic environments that still feel comfortable.
