Infill Dwelling Unit (IDU)
IDU is a narrow building that slides into a highly constrained space. In this case, it is also the last available one on a multi-building residential site, a mere inch away from the adjacent 1920s bungalow, just under five feet away from a 1990s duplex, and four feet away from the property line and apartment building to the south.
Microplex Prototype
Microplex is a micro-scaled, six-unit prototype with two offset bars flanking a passage, featuring forecourts at road and alley ends. Each bar includes courts, trees, and lightwells, fostering daily interaction near entrances and living spaces.
Terraced Triplet
Leveraging California’s Senate Bill 9, this project transforms a single-family lot into four units across three two-story buildings and a 538 SF carport/pavilion on a gently stepped site.
Microplex I
A proof-of-concept for the earlier Microplex Prototype, this project leverages California’s Senate Bill 1211, which permits up to eight detached ADUs on lots with multifamily housing. Here, on a 7500 SF lot, an existing set of seven single-story units—an 800 SF duplex (one-bedroom units), an 1100 SF quadplex (studios), and a 520 SF single-family home (one-bedroom)—is expanded to twelve units, comprising a new alley-facing ADU duplex (765 and 370 SF) above parking, a new ADU triplex near the existing street-front duplex.

LongHouse
LongHouse is a symbiotic building-landscape prototype for a single‑family home on a 50′ × 150′ lot, designed to integrate a JADU and either an attached or detached ADU within its landscaped and irrigated site plan and layout.

Mountain Sidecar
Situated in Lake Arrowhead, this project comprises a new 250 SF two-story vestibule and adjoining 280 SF two-story garage (with a car-lift to allow vertical stacking of vintage Mustang) .
Courtyard House I
This courtyard house and ADU preserve the single-story character of the neighborhood, avoiding overbuilding. Street-facing facades remain mostly unchanged, with a vaulted roof uniting the courtyard, master bedroom, and living areas.
Courtyard House II
Courtyard House II expands the footprint of an existing XSF home in multiple directions. The unification of previously disconnected buildings creates a cohesive courtyard figure that centers the owners' home and work life around a shaded garden.
Double-Up House
A second story addition, choreographed around one hybrid architectural element comprising a floating asymmetrical gable roof and sky-lit wall, which anchors the addition to the first floor of the existing, historically sensitive bungalow.
Gable-to-Hip Roof House
This 472 SF single-story rear-yard extension to a 1,036 SF 1926 bungalow adds a primary suite, laundry room, mudroom, and a vestibule linking the house to the shaded garden.
Silent House
The addition to and remodel of the remains of this house amounts to a laconic architecture of relative silence and deliberately frank appropriation of and juxtaposition with a vernacular without chatter, or superfluous gesture.
Bungalow Butterfly
This project is a 1200 Square foot compact two story butterfly roof addition to an existing 1300 square foot 1940’s bungalow. It expands the ground floor of the existing house by adding bay window seats towards the streets, and expands into the rear yard with built in deck and deck seating.
Courtyard.EDU
This courtyard-anchored 18-unit rowhouse community for a California Central Valley elementary school is a direct outcome of Assembly Bill No. 2295: Education Workforce Housing Development, which streamlines affordable and mixed-income housing for teachers and support staff of California’s K-12 public schools on public land.
Inland Court
This project was an invited competition for a mixed-use development in downtown Redlands in a transit-oriented district on a 2.14-acre site.
Elevated House
This slender second story addition to a remodeled bungalow is rotated 10 degrees away from the first level creating an elevated roof terrace and new underpass in the existing garden.
Suite Installation
The project transforms an existing garage by inserting a gabled wall that forms a deep multi-functional cabinet and defines a new habitable suite. The raised ceiling adds height and spaciousness, while the thickened dividing wall integrates closets, storage, and a kitchenette. The ancillary suite, connected to the main house, comprises a bathroom and studio space.
Duplex Redux
A stereotomic reconfiguration of a stacked section establishes new internal, threshold, and external relationships and itineraries. While experiential qualities are amplified, residential density is unchanged.

Linear Street
Linear Street is a 2,500 GSF, interior design for a law office in an existing urban building. Organized as an interior linear storefront street, the plan divides the space into offices with interior windows overlooking open support spaces.
Open(ed) Office
Open(ed) Office is a 6,700 GSF tenant improvement for a 50-person internet sales company. By clearing the space of the previous tenant’s cellular offices to create a primarily openplan, exposing the vessel-like heavy timber frame and masonry walls, and making the most of the abundant daylight from the perimeter windows and skylights, the project amplifies the collaborative nature of an open workspace.
In Iridescence
The office's outward and inward appearances are marked by a sensibility hovering between graphic flatness and tectonic fullness, anticipating the fleeting attention given to architecture by a distracted audience.
A4H HQ
S, L: A teams with P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S for the 74,000 GSF A4H Office Building. The 5-story project includes retail, medical and general office space, underground parking, a public park, shared terraces, and a green roof.

Textured Vessel
This project provided the opportunity to integrate material and technological innovations into a retail space. The showroom has a bespoke, LED backlit monolithic membrane ceiling illuminating artisanal sustainable natural clay wall surfaces, which provide hygroscopic/noise absorbent/VOC-free healthy surfaces throughout.
Desert Recharge
This project is an integrative ensemble of treatment buildings and a lively landscape sprinkled with episodic recreational elements rich with promenades and portals defining syncopated grains and cross grains. A near three-acre expansion of an iconic desert hotel's spa facilities, it is a combinatory playground of the constructed and natural worlds.
Cerulean Flows
Amply daylit, spaces and their boundaries are take on an ethereal ambiance drawn from a flowing cerulean mural and rhyming finish palette. The ribboning blue graphics along the corridor are punctuated with translucent panels to create visual communication between zones, subtly establishing simple wayfinding for guests.
La Ciudad de Fútbol
La Ciudad de Fútbol is a social condenser: a machine for community building, commerce, living and playing; a precise, yet low-tech kit-of-parts assemblage, with layered and varied speeds of circulation and degrees of privacy in a constant flux of depth.
