Projects

Beauty is subjective, but taste is learned and cultivated.

We are currently investigating localities for regulations conducive to sustainable building materials, such as stone and sustainable blocks.

Saying we don't need old, classic construction materials and ideas because we have trendy, new ones, is like saying we don't need teeth because we have soft fast food and plastic knives; in both modern cases we result in poor outcomes, unattractive forms, and toxic refuse. Rome was not built in a day, but it is still there - functional, durable, attractive, and some was reused and not in landfills.

Seismic

"Earthquakes don't kill people — buildings do." Seismic Design and Retrofits.

We are currently not taking requests for new projects in seismic retrofit, but predict major earthquakes in California by 2026. Please read terms below and feel free to use the links for information only.

Most people prioritize cost and aesthetics over true seismic-proof design, but earthquake-resistant construction is possible while maintaining pleasant style and practicability. We are conducting research into this.

Also, Santa Barbara, Oakland, San Diego and other California communities are overdue for serious earthquakes, while many governments are busy building bulbouts and other obstructions to inhibit traffic flow. Meanwhile, you can check US faults and the latest reported quakes, recent quakes in California.
