Based in Inverness, California, we work alongside natural elements in bringing you world-class construction results. Handling residential and commercial properties, we are dedicated to giving our clients a breathtaking environment to live and work in.

Our Philosophy

Guided by the philosophy of organic architecture, we design solutions that are in perfect harmony with the environment. Our guiding philosophy is deeply embedded in the particulars: client, designer, time, site, and region. We eschew mimicry of overwrought, conventional styles and shock value, as well as pastiche elements and superfluous ornamentation. The result is a powerful, gracious solution to the complex equation of the principles of nature and the distinctive character of the client.

Our Services

We offer a wide range of services, including home, office, and landscape design and development, as well as remodels and additions. Our team of experts will work closely with you to bring your vision to life, taking into account your specific needs and preferences. Whether you're looking to build a new home, renovate an existing one, or create a unique outdoor space, we have the skills and expertise to make it happen.

Our Expertise

Our owner, Alex Riley, studied architecture at the University of Oregon and was influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright's organic architecture movement. Having been influenced by other styles through the years, he seamlessly blends nature with architecture in a distinct style that is all his own. One of the houses our owner designed was exhibited in the book, Passive Solar Architecture, published by Van Nostrand Reinhold in 1982. He was also featured in the 1996 article "Green Hits Marin" of the Home and Garden section in Marin Independent Journal.
