Website Undergoing Renovation…

We begin by listening - as storytellers of the land, the client, the builders, and those who will one day live in the spaces we create with everyone we serve, together.

We’re a constellation team of architects and designers shaped by experiences at Masastudio, Studio Rick Joy, Kelly Wearstler, Aesop, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Marmol Radziner, and Thierry Despont. Our purpose is to craft a meaningful process and a better outcome with you.

Home Grown

Where memories are grown in lanes, alleys, and courtyards — spaces that invite play while offering protection, evoking our fondest childhood memories. This housing concept blends the best of a New York Loft, a California bungalow, and the serene vernacular courtyards of Mexico — infused with light, air, views, and joy. Nature Culture Joy

Santa Monica

Drawing inspiration from the sacred spiritual glow of Antelope Canyon and the cinematic framing of Rear Window, we oriented this “Bottle of Light” to track the sun, creating a fleeting moment each day that surprises and delights. It’s a quiet celebration of the daily rituals that make a house feel alive.

Pebble Beach

Perched atop a mountain, wrapped in the quiet persistence of summer fog and overlooking the Del Monte Pine Reserve, this home is designed to open itself to the outdoors while remaining warm and livable year-round. Our goal was to restore a sense of ground and horizon — letting the fog, forest, and dappled light shape an atmosphere that feels deeply connected to the land, the air, and the shifting light beyond.

Dream Your Own Dream

Experience A Clients’s Design Journey // $350/sf

Our client dreamed of building an additional dwelling unit in Leimert Park, California for the past 25 years. With a modest budget, she approached us to help her realize her dream when our company was nothing but a distant idea. Inspired by her trust, we took the leap of faith and founded ATELIER X DESIGN. Little did we know, she in turned helped us to realized our dream to create a new collaborative design practice in Los Angeles, California. This is the story of our shared design journey of go-giving, growth, and friendship.
