We believe that design is a series of complex problems to be solved with an agenda beyond art — that contextual relevance and functionality are prerequisites for good design.

We seek the “Big Idea” that makes a project beautiful and relevant, and sweat the details of its execution, whether at the scale of a campus master plan, a new building, or a logo for a new restaurant. We see the experience of architecture as a fluid, integrated whole, and strive to seamlessly integrate building and site, form and space, light and material, style and use.

Rick and Anthony have collaborated since 1997 and combined bring over forty years of professional experience in masterplanning, retail and restaurant design, institutional and multi-family housing, higher education facilities, historic preservation/adaptive reuse, and urban infill mixed-use development.

Recent firm recognition includes design awards from the Los Angeles Business Council, Southern California Development Forum, and the Los Angeles Chapter of the AIA.
