Project Architect

Westside Design is a design practice driven by innovation and efficiency, redefining how homes are designed and built on LA’s westside. Born from a powerhouse collaboration with Westside Build, our team brings together decades of high-end single-family residential design experience, spec building expertise, and cutting-edge digital fabrication/technological integration to deliver exceptional homes at an approachable price point.

Westside Design is a young and dynamic studio dedicated to crafting homes that are thoughtful, high-quality, and deeply connected to their context. Our projects range from internal spec developments to client-driven custom homes and fire rebuilds for communities impacted by the recent wildfires.

We believe great design is never a one-size-fits-all solution. Every home should reflect the people who live in it, the land it’s built on, and the broader environment. Our approach is joyful yet rigorous, experimental yet rooted in craftsmanship — guiding clients through a collaborative, design-forward process to create homes that are elevated, personal, and enduring.

We’re committed to designing resilient homes faster, smarter, and better. By integrating advanced technology, digital fabrication, and offsite construction, we cut through inefficiencies, reduce costs, and accelerate timelines in partnership with our build team.

This is a modern approach to architectural design and construction, built for today’s world. And we’re just getting started.

As we launch this new practice, we’re looking for design-forward, ambitious collaborators who are excited to push boundaries, rethink workflows, and shape the future of homes in Los Angeles.
