We have built two office buildings for our own business in the last nine years to test our own innovation in sustainable building design. Our current office building is LEED gold certified and we have designed the first LEED certified school in California. Our office is home to 13 team members whose unique experiences contribute to our considerable expertise on civic projects, residential projects, educational facilities, and historic renovations. Our collaborative approach to design ensures that we achieve the highest level of quality at all stages of the design process.
