Is it an addition?

It shouldn't look like one. Whether we both design and build your project or both it should celebrate the existing architecture and location. There's always a balance of style and function within a structure. Our goal is to create the right tensions of forms and surfaces in a project by setting the prominence of features within a design framework. Do individual elements support the intent, adding up visually. How do material intersect, adding to he presence and purpose of surfaces These are a few of the questions we consider important to understand and managing as projects are planned.

Build now and enjoy for a lifetime, if you hire a licensed contractor.

The cost of building, renovating and repairing a project is the sum of materials, labor, insurance along with added P&O. Doing a project today is going to cost less than building later. The market in Southern California is very competitive and it's roughly shaped by a supply of reasonably skilled labor force and broadly available discounted building materials. Many contractors and laborers especially the unlicensed enjoy the advantage of not paying for insurance or licensing. The risk to individuals hiring these unlicensed contractors is enormous and can be a disaster if someone you hire is injured or builds without permits. Make sure you check for licensing at www.cslb.ca.gov/consumers/ Ask contractors for their certificates of liability and workers compensation insurance. Without these you're assuming all the risk in a building project!

Add to it's significance.

Southern California is blessed with an abundance of varied architectural styles and eras . Over time weather and a lack of maintenance reduces the vitality of the details once central to the designers intent.

Their renewal provides a handsome place to create family memories and can be a repository of capital. Interest in the elegance of older buildings as time goes on will certainly continue. Community planners and civic groups alike are pursing securing the building fabric of the past. The supply of these historically crafted buildings has dwindled over time, making the remaining structures of even more value.

Instead at best they postpone real solution. Our results are guaranteed!
