Profile
We are an architectural design studio specializing in Residential, Commercial and Mixed-use projects in California and New York. Our firm has completed a broad range of projects from single family homes and luxury condominiums, to corporate interiors, retail spaces and adaptive reuse developments. Our services include:
Design
Conceptualizing and envisioning a framework and aesthetic criteria, resulting in a fully functional structure. We focus on the functional needs, as well as the desires of the client, while keeping budget constraints in mind.
Planning
We help clients develop a construction plan in order to ensure that every element of a project's cost is accounted for. Services include schematic design through construction administration, as well as pre-design, programming and feasibility studies.
Consulting
We provide consulting services for builders, developers and investors in order to determine the costs and viability of a project. Our services include zoning and building code analysis, as well as permit/entitlement processing and neighborhood outreach with negotiated solutions.
Our Work
Select Residential and Commercial Projects:
Photo Studio
Hudson River Valley
Completed 2015
3,100 sq. ft. , custom photography studio designed in association with THE THOMPSON COLLABORATIVE, an Interior Design Firm based in Los Angeles. The interior features an open plan design with exposed beams and floor to ceiling windows to allow maximum light into the space. Set on a legacy estate, the modern, minimal design of the studio speaks to the traditional architecture of existing structures on the site. Clean lines and bold forms emulate the simple aesthetic of rural barns with a contemporary edge.
Scandia Way
Los Angeles, CA
Completed 2013
Six modern single-family homes, designed to appeal to young professionals. Set on a hillside in Glassel Park, all rooms are designed to take advantage of views of the Los Angeles Basin and the San Gabriel Mountains. Formal entries open onto expansive living areas with floor to ceiling windows. Sliding pocket doors open onto ample decks for indoor-outdoor living. While the six houses present different orientations and building footprints, they feature similar materials and setbacks as well as distinctive angular articulations.
East West Bank
Pasadena, CA
Completed 2007
This contemporary modern 7,200 sq. ft. flagship commercial Banking Center opened in August of 2007. The dramatic entrance was achieved by opening up the existing archway of the building and installing glass doors and windows that fill the space. For or this project, HOLTZ ARCHITECTURE partnered with THE THOMPSON COLLABORATIVE, an interior design firm based in Los Angeles. In addition to being a thriving commercial bank, the branch also serves as a showcase for the EAST WEST BANK collection of Modern Chinese Art, assembled in cooperation with the LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART.
