The intricate details are some of our favorite elements of the historic buildings we work on. We are completing the adaptive reuse of this historic bank on Hollywood Blvd and part of the project is to protect and preserve this beautiful facade.

In the Sand Section of Manhattan Beach the design of a home is a delicate balance between privacy and views. Careful thought was put into where each window and opening was placed on this beach home. Along the tight side yards of property the house is

Materiality can impact how one perceives space. At the @WayfarerDTLA the use of translucent glass between the shower and guest room allowed for evenly diffused natural daylight to pour into the bathroom. White tile surfaces help bounce the light off

That’s a wrap on #A22Con! From the keynote speakers to the boat tour, we had a great time seeing all the best that Chicago had to offer. Thank you @aianational for another wonderful convention and a special shoutout to former president @baracko

The Convention is more than classes and inspiring speakers. It’s about exploring the host city. In Chicago we toured our very own Ozzy Sandoval’s alma mater, the IIT School of Architecture, and building, Crown Hall by esteemed Midcentur
