Alterstudio Architecture

The work of Alterstudio Architecture is rooted in deep-seated virtues of architecture: generous space making, shrewd manipulation of day-lighting, and meticulous attention to detail. The heightening of direct human experience and the framing of complex circumstances are at the core of each project. Underlining all the work is the belief that architecture should deepen everyday experience at the same time that it elevates an awareness of a larger, changing world.

The practice specializes in precise and creative buildings, landscapes, and interiors that sensitively respond to their cultural environment and ecologies of place. Attention to all elements of design has been a constant in the firm’s philosophy. Alterstudio Architecture has received more than two hundred design awards, including twelve National AIA Awards, and been widely published, including the recent book from Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers’ Masterpiece Series, Highland Park / Alterstudio.
