Nicole Starr and Brad Williams
We are California natives - born, raised, and educated here. We love the outdoors and homes that pull the outside in. We understand how homes in California need to work a little differently than homes in other places. The sun is a little stronger here, the hills are steeper, the climate more variable.
We have a shared sensibility for architecture that is simple, elegant, and well crafted. We aspire to create homes built from real materials and designed based on how people actually live. It’s not unusual for us to obsess over details, in pursuit of solutions that look clean and effortless. We relish challenging sites, and forge close connections with our clients and the craftspeople who build our designs.
