About the Firm

Ken runs a small firm and, as the principal, is directly involved in every step of each project, keeping the architectural process smooth, efficient, and personal. Ken is a licensed architect in California and Arizona, and specializes in the Los Angeles areas of Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Cheviot Hills, and Beverly Hills.

Design Philosophy

Ken’s portfolio of homes range between traditional, transitional, and contemporary styles. He designs from the inside out, starting by sitting down with clients and hearing what they want in their space. Designing for a livable scale, Ken creates and iterates floorpans and ideas until finding the client’s ideal. From there, the aesthetic of his designs are contextualized by the property and its surroundings — both the natural landscape and the built environment. Working and building primarily in Southern California, his design principles are shaped by and for the climate: his homes invite and take advantage of boundless natural light and flow seamlessly from indoors to outdoors.
