Areas We Serve · Santa Monica
Santa Monica design connected to coast, city and interior life.
Residential, multifamily, commercial, interior and renovation experience for projects between the Pacific and the urban fabric of Los Angeles.
Local perspective
A place-specific brief deserves a wider field of knowledge.
Santa Monica asks architecture to work at several scales at once: a comfortable private environment, a good neighbor, an efficient development and a durable coastal building. Apel Design brings those perspectives into a coordinated process.
Relevant experience
Three useful ways to begin in Santa Monica.
The right scope follows the property and ambition. These paths show the most relevant starting points.
Work in Santa Monica
Built here, not just nearby.
Projects located in Santa Monica and the immediately surrounding neighborhoods. Where a project is not in Santa Monica itself, its neighborhood is named.
How we work
One studio, connected from early study through the finished place.
Apel Design can begin with a site, an existing building, a feasibility question or a clear creative ambition. The team brings together architectural design, planning and entitlement experience, interiors, consultant coordination, preconstruction and field knowledge according to the needs of the project.
Architecture is performed in association with Michael B. Maclaren, AIA. Licensed construction is provided by Creative New Dimensions Inc, CA General Building Contractor, Class B, CSLB #1056632, in conjunction with Apel Design for Design-Build.
