Our practice has centered around providing affordable urban housing solutions in San Diego over the last twenty years. Most of our projects are infill, and many involve the re-use and enlargement of existing, often historic structures. We have successfully managed developer and consultant teams to construct mixed-use apartments, row houses, live-work, student housing and age-in-place living.
Although our design aesthetic is thoroughly modern, we have been very successful working with neighborhood review and preservation boards by designing sensitively to the context, and by showing how a modern response can respect the established patterns and urban goals of the community.
The rehabilitation of the 1958 Salomon Apartments illustrates our approach to urban housing solutions through infill, preservation and sustainabie design. It was awarded with an Orchid for preservation, and was the San Diego Historic Resource Board 'Project of the Year'.
