We’re so excited to share our work on the Mkutano House in Elephant Valley at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park!

Our team had the opportunity to provide both architecture and interior design services for this immersive guest experience where we brought together natural materials, warm textures, and thoughtful detailing inspired by the surrounding landscape and wildlife.

It’s especially meaningful to see a project come to life in a setting that creates a deeper connection between people, nature, and conservation. We’re proud to have been part of the team that helped shape it.

We are proud to announce the Living Seas Gallery at Birch Aquarium is open for viewing! Developed through a collaborative, mission-driven process, the Adam R. Scripps Living Seas Gallery, features marine species from the Pacific Northwest and Coastal California to the vibrant Tropical Pacific. Highlights include an immersive grotto home to the Giant Pacific Octopus, a revitalized giant kelp forest exhibit, and a dynamic coral reef habitat, each breathing new life into the visitor experience. These immersive environments foster curiosity, creativity, and play, breaking down barriers between people and marine life to underscore our deep connection to the ocean. Dynamic wall graphics and digital projections heighten the sense of submersion, transforming the space without requiring major structural renovations.

We are honored to have been part of this meaningful project, alongside our great team, that furthers the aquarium’s mission to protect our ocean pla

This year, we’re proud to celebrate twenty-eight years as a legacy architecture and interior design studio, a milestone that reflects not only our longevity but our ongoing commitment to creating spaces that are thoughtful, sustainable, and deeply connected to community.

What began almost three decades ago as a vision shared between Randy, Jim, and Matt has grown into a practice grounded in purposeful design, trusted partnerships, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. We honor our legacy and the people and projects that brought us here, and the evolving ideas that will carry us forward.

To all who have been part of our journey: thank you. Here’s to another year!
