## About

### Houzz Badges

- Star Houzzer
- 1,000 Ideabook Saves

LCA Architects has been designing custom home properties, as well as commercial projects since 1974. David Bogstad, the firm’s President, takes a client’s vision and space needs, and translates them into a home that reaches beyond their expectations. “A goal with all my clients,” says David, “is to give them something better than what they possibly dreamed of.”

Bogstad begins this process with his own passion for classical architecture and in in-depth grounding in design history in traditional styles. Fond of the classic building proportions established by Andrea Palladio in the Renaissance, he has a sharp eye for crafting estates on a human scale, creating a comfortable, livable space.

LCA Architects has been providing award winning planning and design services to public and private clients around the globe for over 40 years. We pride ourselves on taking a comprehensive approach to whatever challenge is presented, streamlining otherwise complicated processes with our experienced staff of experts. With over 30 employees, we are well qualified to handle a wide variety of projects. Our ability to provide specialists from within our firm in areas such as Cal Green and LEED, commercial interiors and entitlements adds to our strength and helps us be an even greater resource to our clients.
