Robert Sawyer Architect

A California licensed architect with a strong design library dedicated to ergonomic sustainability, and site-specific design. From working with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to creating Architectural Business Magazine, and the Edaburi Awards, Robert Sawyer has been a visionary in the custom home market, and has created several notable commercial designs including: the LA Furniture Mart with John Ruhlen and Bruce Becket as well as the AT&T Conferencing centers, and the AVDA Dealer Auto Auction in Santa Clarita.

As a quasi-design-builder, Mr. Sawyer's work is compelling. His hands-on approach to construction utilizes 40 years' experience in architectural detailing, and 17 apprenticeships with all trades related to construction. His work is exemplary in every detail, and they say the devil is in the details. However, appropriate execution of these details comes from the experience gained from over 1,000 housing units completed world-wide thus-far.
