We are a small full-service building design firm established in 1997 by Arthur Tan. Practicing as a building design professional for 25 plus years, he has vast experiences in design of residential, commercial, and institutional structures. He is a licensed Structural Engineer, Civil Engineer, and General Contractor in the State of California. Please download a copy of his resume for additional information.
We start the design process by carefully listening to our clients' needs, and then we apply the 'Goldilocks principle' in our design...'Not too hot, not too cold, just right'. Also having extensive hands-on experiences in construction, we understand the detail facets of the construction process. Our design solutions always maintain the architectural design intents while being practical and cost-effective.
