As a family owned business founded in 1979 we are based on the Westside and Southbay. Philippe and Olivier were born in France and emigrated to America in 1959. Sons of educators in the literature and art world we were exposed at a young age to old word culture and refined architecture. Many a Saturday or Sunday evening was spent viewing slide shows of the old masters and the best of European palaces and historical landmarks. We have traveled extensively and completed degrees in Australian universities. Today our outlook on design and function is in a large part a reflection of these experiences.

Our hands on approach that we hang our hat on derives from the following premise:

Building is technical, its a process, logistically it can be nightmarish and in all honesty it’s notoriously inefficient. In addition current trends demand an ever increasing level of detail and refinement.

So the question begs, how does a conscientious business best address these concerns?

It is our philosophy that less is more. We pride ourselves in that we never take on more work than we know we can perform at a high level. Our clients are special and deserve our full resources and attention. It’s about building relationships and possibly making friends and not taking on every last project. When we leave our projects our pride is grounded not only in our clients satisfaction but as a firm knowing that we did not forget the bow on the final package.
