I grew up at the base of the Santa Ynez mountains in Santa Barbara, in what had been an early 1900's boarding school. My family lived in a Library, an Infirmary and in classrooms. I didn't live in a building designed to be a house until college. In the hills above our paradise of old school buildings was the Mountain Drive community, where residents were building homes out of adobe, used lumber, wine bottles and ferro cement.
One of the founding residents was Architect and Philosopher Frank Robinson, who became my mentor. When I graduated from Architecture School at the University of Arizona in Tucson, I worked for Frank, who taught me much of what I know about architecture.

We look for projects that add a layer of clarity and delight to a neighborhood and to a city as a whole. Buildings should be positive additions to a community, and push things forward, with ideas and hope for the future. Celebrating life is at the heart of each project, and each is a grand dance with great clients, builders, and agencies.
We often create fabric versions of Jeff's tile patterns for curtains, pillows and upholstery, and recently made some designs available at Spoonflower.com. They offer a wide array of cottons, linens, and even fleeces, as well as wallpaper and made-to-order home goods, including throw pillows, tablecloths and napkins, sheets and duvet covers.
