meet architect & founder, cory walker

Hi! I am Cory Walker, a licensed architect (C-37193) who practicing commercial architecture & custom home design in Los Angeles, California and Orange County

If you love design, plants and natural materials, we absolutely will get along!

I started taking drafting class when I was just 10 years old, and never looked back. I’m currently 12 years into my career and got the itch to launch an architecture studio in 2020. We have grown to a staff of 3 , and really put our heart and sole into all of the work we do, and most importantly, into the relationships that we build. 

Besides architecture and drawing, on the weekend, you will find me at the beach, in Santa Monica, playing competitive 2-man beach volleyball. With 2man volleyball, it takes a team to win.. I’ve learned the hard way that you can’t win alone.

I honor teamwork and problem solving in the game of 2 man beach volley, and have found a way bring a teamwork style of thinking into the craft of project management. Communication is essential to play high level volleyball, just as it is essential to do high level architecture. All of the trades need to come together and volley ideas back and forth to make sure design can be seamless, flush and beautiful.

And lastly, me and my wife do yoga regularly to cleans the mind. It truly reduces anxiety and allows one to think freely without self judgement. It is very important to think freely without self judgement during the design process to let the ideas flow naturally out of the mind. Come try it with us!
