From studios in Santa Cruz, California, our firm designs commercial, residential, industrial and institutional projects of all types and sizes.

We are dedicated to three things:

Innovative design,
Unparalleled personal service, and
Value for our clients.

Design is really what we are all about. We approach each assignment as an artistic as well as a technical endeavor. We believe architecture is the art that encompasses all others, and we feel that it is best expressed when it responds to the nature of the site as well as to the needs of the client and the demands of schedule and budget.

We measure value for our clients in two ways, first with reasonable fees, but more importantly, with efficient design solutions.

We are always interested in exploring and developing new materials and techniques. We evaluate new products daily and keep in touch with manufacturers so we can be aware of what is available and of current pricing.

Our staff and consultants are professionally licensed and we believe have the highest standards in the business.
