Whittier

Paul Udris and Mark Burgess, the driving forces behind U+B, founded their firm in 2003 to elevate expectations of what an architecture firm can do. Of course, we provide the exceptional design that you expect from an award-winning architectural firm. But we also think broadly about strategies to improve the environments you live and work in, and we solve problems - before, after, and beyond architecture. We help our clients navigate the often-confusing design and construction process to arrive at award-winning results by: * Leveraging our diverse design experience, from residential to commercial to educational, to find unique solutions that defy categorization; * Stepping back from the immediate design question to consider all dimensions of the issue- from programming to phasing to financing; * Digging deeper, through a highly collaborative design process, into your problems and dreams to find unexpected solutions; and * Maximizing the value of your investment by challenging assumptions about design, materials and the construction process. We work as your advocate every step of the way - even during site selection, lease negotiations, or simply brainstorming a future project. It's never too early in the process to meet with us, and our initial consultation is always free. Learn how U+B can transform your design challenges into elegant solutions.
