OUR EXPERTISE

We have over 20 years experience designing a broad range of building types including residential, commercial, retail, restaurant and educational facilities.

Our firm’s services cover the full spectrum of architecture and master planning.

IAdditionally, Steven currently serves on the City of Ventura’s Design Review board which is responsible for overseeing the concept, design and development phases of projects throughout the city.

We believe in forging team relationships and close collaboration with our clients, and feel they should enjoy the design process as much as the result. Site and budget are the major considerations in shaping the design, as opposed to the architect trying to make a “signature statement”.

The resulting structures are unique, innovative sand intimately connected to context and function.

We believe that all phases of planning and design are enriched by our clients and their communities.
