Transforming Spaces With an Architect Design Studio

An architectural design studio is a practice that develops buildings and spaces through a coordinated design process. It may provide concept development, architectural drawings, interiors, material direction, permitting support, consultant coordination, and construction guidance. Ortiz Mexia Projects, Inc. extends that approach to custom homes, renovations, additions, furniture, cabinetry, and built-ins so the architectural vision carries through the entire environment.

Architectural design costs vary according to the project’s scope, complexity, existing conditions, requested services, and level of coordination. A custom home, historical remodel, addition, or interior project may require different phases and consultant involvement. Ortiz Mexia Projects, Inc. does not publish standard pricing, so the appropriate starting point is a conversation about the property, goals, and services required.

The studio designs custom single-family homes, residential buildings of up to four units, additions, alterations, remodels, renovations, interiors, and historical preservation projects. Services can extend from a focused design element such as cabinetry or furniture to comprehensive support through permitting and construction completion, depending on the project’s needs.

Yes. Building permit procurement is part of the studio’s residential service offering. Ortiz Mexia Projects, Inc. assists clients, consultants, and general contractors through the permitting process and coordinates design information for applicable municipal requirements. The service is available for projects ranging from single-family homes to residential buildings of up to four units in the firm’s stated service areas.

Yes. The practice integrates custom interior design with architectural work, including remodels, new construction, additions, and alterations. Its scope may include spatial planning, finishes, custom furniture, cabinetry, and built-ins. This integrated approach helps architectural and interior decisions support one another rather than treating the interior as a separate layer added later.

Ortiz Mexia Projects, Inc. has used VR immersions for client presentations and design work since 2020. Clients and designers can experience virtual spaces at full scale or study three-dimensional models at another scale. This makes spatial relationships easier to evaluate and gives clients a more direct way to respond to design ideas before construction.

Yes. The studio provides historical preservation and remodeling services, including work involving Historical Preservation Overlay Zones. The design approach seeks to maintain architectural integrity while introducing modern sustainable systems and technologies where appropriate. Each project is studied individually so new interventions respect the existing character while supporting contemporary use and occupant wellness.

The firm serves Los Angeles, California, and Colorado’s Roaring Fork Valley. Service descriptions also identify the City of Santa Monica, the City of Beverly Hills, Aspen, Snowmass, Basalt, and Carbondale for relevant offerings. Projects are handled by appointment, and service availability should be discussed in relation to the property and requested scope.
