Linda Brettler focuses on residential projects with the philosophy that a home is a uniquely personal expression of its owners, and as such the process of designing or remodeling a home becomes a true collaboration between architect and owner. She approaches each house with the intent of what is its most idealized, best possible version both functionally and aesthetically. Whether the project is an addition to a 1920’s Spanish villa or a new modern hillside aerie the same principles apply of creativity and function — good flow, pleasing proportions, excellent orientation and natural lighting, beautiful materials, green technology, a sense of delight and variety, procession, and  integrating the house to its natural site.
