Breakform Design is a Los Angeles- and Lake Tahoe-based architecture, fabrication, and construction firm.
Founded in 2002, our in-house team of architects, fabricators, and builders collaborates with owners and firms on specialty projects for residential, commercial, and mixed uses. Constraints imposed by a site’s context, climate, community, and culture inspire us to approach each project individually while building on more than twenty years of envisioning, making, and delivering highly crafted designs.

What We Do
Architecture
From early feasibility studies and programming through all phases of the architectural process—including interior design and construction administration—Breakform Design delivers a comprehensive approach to creating exceptional spaces. Rooted in the precision of metal fabrication, our design philosophy celebrates the beauty of raw materials and impeccable craftsmanship. We seamlessly blend glass, metal, wood, concrete, and landscape elements to create spaces that are both functional and inspiring.
Function is the weld that binds our designs, ensuring every detail serves a purpose—whether enhancing usability, optimizing light, or creating a natural flow. Every texture, material, and connection is thoughtfully considered to harmonize form and function, resulting in designs that are timeless, authentic, and deeply connected to their environment.
Fabrication
Starting as a fabrication studio, Breakform Design creates exquisite architectural elements and details — from structures & environments to staircases, fences, gates & security barriers, glazing, and furniture.
Construction
Working with owners and architects, Breakform Design offers a depth of experience understanding and executing big design ideas with the highest attention to detail and finest level of quality.
