Precision. Passion. And a healthy dose of perfectionism.
Equal parts art and science, architecture is the one art form that people experience firsthand each and every day. Thus, when creating a new residential or commercial environment, our designers begin with the simple fact that architecture is for people, not the other way around. Any new design must reflect and respond to the personality, lifestyle and tastes of the home or business owner. To capture this essence, we have become good listeners, deeply pondering the things we hear, and then providing innovative and compelling design solutions that delight and astound. Since 1994, our track record of awards and a long list of supremely happy clients is testimony to the effectiveness of our process.

“Standard Pacific Homes has had the privilege and pleasure of working with Olson Architecture on several projects. Anne and her team go beyond the typical design firm by becoming a member of our team before, during and after the design phase of the project. Olson Architecture is creative with an appreciation of what today’s buyer wants. They are aware of budget constraints but don’t sacrifice the marketability of the home. They take the time to think through and suggest trade-offs which inevitably make for better home designs while respecting our budget. They are well versed in code compliance including Fair Housing and work with the municipality before permit submission to limit problems. Their follow through including the creation and use of checklists and schedules; interviews and product research with our sub-contractors and suppliers; cooperation with our staff and consultants; site visits during construction; CAD protocol that insures seamless integration into our system; communication that is neither too much nor too little are a few of the reasons Standard Pacific Homes is proud to be associated with Olson Architecture.”
