Our groundbreaking and breathtaking designs can be found in homes and offices in Southern California. When we design, we take our design cue from history and natural shapes and forms. The highest compliment we can receive is having our structures, whether private residences or commercial complexes, be in harmony with their surroundings.

"Moises knows how to listen to his clients needs, produce technical drawing and documents, and submit to the county for approval via their required software."

I, Dwight C. Rogers, Architect, have been practicing architecture since 1984. I love working in San Diego County and would be more then happy helping you out with your architectural needs with a focus on additions to homes, remodels and small commercial projects. Past projects range from free-standing radiology facilities to historical restoration and custom homes. Current projects include the building upgrades and the addition of an accessible lift for a circa 1912 church and upgrades and permitting for an existing mixed-use commercial building.

Architects questions, answered by experts

Italianate architecture is a reinterpretation of Renaissance styles, combining elements of Italian farmhouses and villas with Victorian materials and construction. This home style emerged in the Victorian era, gaining popularity in the U.S. in the mid-to late-1800s. The style came about in response to what many then viewed as the too-rigid and stuffy Classical style designs. 

Architects bring expertise in spatial design, efficiency, aesthetics, and safety, translating complex needs into feasible, regulatory-compliant design plans.

A cathedral ceiling is a type of vaulted ceiling with a symmetrical peak that follows the pitch of the roof. They typically peak at a height of 12 to 20 feet, although they can go higher. This dramatic height and steep peak mimic the architecture of many historic cathedrals, which is where they got their name.

The most idyllic building material that encapsulates the feel of Federal architecture is a brick facade, often with bricks alternating between long side and short side. Palladium and arched transom windows are also prevalent, as are flat, white window lintels. More ornate Federal architecture buildings also include columns on either side of the front door. More important than most of the finer details, though, is the symmetry from the exterior. On the interior, ornate plaster moldings and plaster ceiling medallions are indicative of the style.

Architects can cater to both residential and commercial projects, tailoring their approach according to the specific sector regulatory requirements.
