Architecture Shaped by Experience

Kanan Dume Residence, a single-family home in Malibu, California, is approximately 78% complete for Phase 1, a major milestone in its rebuild after the Woolsey Fire. Required to stay within the original footprint with only a +10% expansion, the design focuses on precision and restraint. The exterior envelope, glazing, stair elements, railings and interior wood finishes are largely in place, with current work focused on façade detailing, final finishes and the transition from construction shell to finished residence.

Also in progress is The Coffee Store, a café in Ciudad Jardín Lomas del Palomar, Buenos Aires, designed around the neighborhood's garden-city character. Full-height glazing wraps a corner salon lined with a terracotta banquette and planters, while a monolithic terrazzo counter, oak paneling and a sage green coffee bar anchor the interior. A glass-enclosed terrace under a translucent roof extends the café toward the tree-lined street, keeping the space connected to its surroundings year-round.
