Breakform Design is a Los Angeles- and Lake Tahoe-based architecture, fabrication, and construction firm founded in 2002. It brings together a team of skilled architects, fabricators, and builders who collaborate closely with owners and partners to undertake specialty projects that span residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. The firm prides itself on its unique approach, where each project is treated with individual consideration, driven by the specific constraints of context, climate, community, and culture.
With over twenty years of expertise in envisioning and delivering designs, Breakform Design excels in creating spaces that harmoniously blend function, beauty, and craftsmanship. Its architectural philosophy focuses on using raw materials like glass, metal, wood, concrete, and landscape elements to bring designs to life. This meticulous attention to detail results in spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also deeply connected to their surroundings and imbued with purpose.
Breakform’s services cover all phases of the architectural process, starting from early feasibility studies and moving through programming, design, interior design, and construction administration. The firm's journey began with metal fabrication, and it has expanded its capabilities to include unique architectural elements, custom metalwork, and comprehensive construction management services. Projects such as the Sheats-Goldstein Residence and the Prada Epicenter showcase Breakform’s ability to preserve and enhance iconic structures while pushing the boundaries of contemporary design.
Whether transforming triplexes into single-family homes or crafting bespoke furniture and structures, Breakform Design continues to build a reputation for exceptional quality and innovation. The firm actively collaborates with notable architects and designers, delivering refined, high-craft designs that resonate with their clients and the communities they serve.
