calm and sculptural
Our interiors focus on natural light and shade, and our designs are formed to promote a relaxed interplay between interior and exterior spaces.
Our exterior design works carefully with existing vernaculars, which we love. We also tend toward sculptural massings and materiality that fits well in California, with simple geometries, time-tested materials, and a constant search for balance with site design and landscape.

M/AP is available to advise on your new house, residential addition or land purchase.
As a creative with the background of an Owner’s Rep, Joel brings solutions for permit and entitlement issues, along with a strong and clear aesthetic vision.
