About our TEAM

MARCIA ADAIR, AIA - Principal Architect

Marcia started her architecture career by entering one of the top architecture universities in Brazil in 2007. Upon graduating, she then moved to the US where she worked on a variety of projects from small residential remodels to commercial restaurants and dispensaries. All that experience has helped her gain the professional and technical knowledge to become a California Licensed Architect.

Marcia is passionate about getting clients visions into paper and helping them cross the finish line to make those dreams become a solid reality - like music frozen in time.

The Passing of Time

We will see the extent we can build new bridges via 5 questions and a protocol. Below are 5 questions that everyone can see and consider well in advance of our meeting. Hopefully the questions will resonate and inspire your thoughts. We will go through them in order and go as far as we can for the first two thirds of our meeting. After that we will all sit back and see the work presented by a couple of remarkable young architects.

Starting Your Own Firm

Join our Young Architects Forum / Emerging Professionals round-table with panelists from the Small Firm Forum to discuss lessons learned from starting their own practice.

After each architect gives a brief introduction of themselves, the meeting will evolve into an interactive session of questions and observations from those in attendance. It is expected that attendees will be a mix of architects who have started firms, young architects, and architects in general who are thinking about starting a firm.
