Mi Sueño
The house known as "Mi Sueño", or "My Dream", was once the grand dame of the Pasadena Arroyo. Mi Sueño was a masterful re-interpretation of Spanish Baroque and Spanish Colonial architecture, conceived by famed architect Bertram Goodhue while he was the lead designer for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, located in San Diego's Balboa Park.

Carmel Valley Estate
When we first visited our client's property, a gently rolling, eight-acre parcel in Carmel Valley, we were inspired by its pastoral beauty. Dotted with stately oaks, and nestled against a backdrop of verdant mountainside, the site and the locale reminded us of the hills of rural Tuscany.
Emerald Bay
There's a spirit that resides in a particular place. This design identified and made manifest the essential spirit of this special place. Developing the solution for the home took concentrated focus on the property's inherent complexities making the design process as critical as the final product.
John Street
Within the hill section of Manhattan Beach lies a Spanish Revival estate that imparts a rich Southern California architectural legacy with a contemporary lifestyle. Our approach was clear and simple, envision an estate that was honest to its context, represents the heart of an immediate family, and also becomes a home for extended family members and friends alike.
Kip Drive
Inspired by luxurious villas of Tuscany, this home which sits on a 7-acre property with panoramic views from downtown LA to Santa Monica Bay, has been reinterpreted for a Southern California lifestyle.
Beverly Park Estate
Conceived as an extension of the Southern California Spanish Colonial Revival legacy this residence consists of a series of villa-like structures, courtyards, loggias and amenities for a young family. The architecture, gardens and site features are marked by the prodigious use of smooth plaster wall finishes, low-pitched clay tile shed roofs, and terracotta and cast concrete ornaments.
Marlboro Road
