About Us

Studio Katsibas Architecture is a Los Angeles and London based architecture firm in its third year, founded on nearly a decade of experience building successful architecture practices in both California and the UK. We specialize in commercial, hospitality, and high-end residential projects in both cities.

We have a strong book of current projects and a healthy pipeline of future work, much of it from repeat clients. We're in a growth phase and looking to expand from our current team of three to five architects within the next 12 months. This is an opportunity to join early and help shape the practice as we grow.

What Sets Us Apart

Excellent design and great ideas are fundamental to what we do, but what sets us apart is our commitment to exceptional client service. Our clients choose us, and come back to us, because we deliver high-quality work with a ‘right first time, every time’ mentality. We're responsive, proactive, and relentless about keeping projects moving forward. This means actively managing consultants to meet deadlines, anticipating client needs before they ask, and taking ownership of the entire project experience.

If you take pride in producing high-quality work, in being responsive, and solution-oriented - if you understand that great architecture is as much about how you deliver it as what you deliver - you'll thrive here.
