Pritzkat & Johnson Architects specialize in custom residential Architecture, designing distinguished homes that combine a high level of artistry and functionality while realizing our clients’ dreams and often exceeding their expectations. We accomplish this through thoughtful listening, realistic project budgeting and the artful application of creative ideas.

OUR STYLE
Architectural styles, like clothing, cars or music vary by the individual. No style is “right” or “wrong” as long as the finished design follows the language of Architecture. Many of our clients have an image in their mind of what they see for their dream home. Our role is to interpret that image so that it has the best possible architectural look.

MILES E. PRITZKAT, ARCHITECT & PRINCIPAL
Miles uses his artistic and technical experience to find creative and aesthetic design solutions based on the needs of each project. A third generation southern California native, Miles developed his interest in architecture through frequent family trips to regional landmarks and historic sites, and a love of motion picture design. Miles strives for designs that make life easier, richer and more enjoyable.

KEITH B. JOHNSON, ARCHITECT & PRINCIPAL
Keith possesses broad experience in design and construction and is an expert in project delivery. Always adhering to the mantra form follows function, Keith was first intrigued by architecture when studying the scale, massing and structural design of his native Chicago’s famous skyscrapers.

### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Anna Hackathorn Interior Design, March 2018**

> I'm an interior designer and when I have the need and opportunity to recommend an architect to a client, Pritzkat & Johnson is always my first suggestion.  I find them to be very well-versed in a variety of architectural styles, very creative problem-solvers for difficult design situations, and very communicative and professional throughout the process.  Overall, they are lovely people to work with, and I hired them myself when it came time to renovate my own house as well.

**★★★★★ — Marianne K., March 2018**

> Miles & Keith did an awesome job designing our dream home which replaced a '50s home in West Torrance.  It was more than I imagined it could be!  It definitely is the envy of the neighborhood!  Thanks Miles & Keith!!

**★★★★★ — Daniel Marcu, March 2018**

> Miles and Keith helped us transform an old 1950s house into a contemporary marvel. They bring to the table an unbeatable set of skills that encompasses everything that is needed to make their customers happy: from creativity to thoroughness; from teamship to delivery. Most of all, I enjoyed though their ability to listen carefully and turn layman babble into beautiful plans.

**★★★★★ — Erin Coppola, Feb. 2018**

> Pritzkat & Johnson helped turn our home into our dream home.  With their help, we transformed the entire footprint of our home.  Without the addition of any square footage we were able to add 1 1/2 bathrooms (giving each bedroom its own bath, plus a powder room) and improve the overall layout.  They heard our needs, responded to them in a timely and professional manner, and worked within the parameters we set at the onset of the project.  Plus, they are a pleasure to work with.  Would highly recommend.

**★★★★★ — N N, Feb. 2018**

> Both Miles & Keith were wonderful to work with. They were very thoughtful in their approach, very patient with us and all of our requests each time we did a design review, kept us informed along the way, incredibly knowledgeable, creative in their ideas, professional, personable, and all around great people. Highly recommend them both!

**★★★★★ — M Varend, Feb. 2018**

> Pritzkat&Johnson are our chosen architects for a whole house remodel.  They beautifully re-imagined our dysfunctional, ugly 1960-era house into a functional and practical modern, open style home that now captures our view.   While we are in the midst of the remodel, as the home is rebuilt I am amazed and delighted with their architectual vision as it comes to life.   Pritzkat & Johnson exceeded my expectations and I recommend them highly.

**★★★★★ — Andrea Perez, Feb. 2018**

> We hired P & J to design a new house for us.  They exceeded our expectations!
>  They listened to what we wanted and translated that to the home of our dreams.
> We couldn't recommend them more highly.

**★★★★★ — katiekoenig12, Jan. 2016**

> Pritzkat & Johnson have our highest recommendation. We had some unique challenges that involved adding 1,000sf and a subterranean garage to a house that was built in the mid-50s. They took all of our ideas and designed a house that exceeded our expectations. They also did an excellent job of working balancing our wish list with feedback from the city and our neighbors.
>
> Their cost and time estimates were accurate and we also received excellent feedback from other professionals that had to work with Pritzkat & Johnson throughout the course of our project.
>
> They were great to work with and I would work with them again if the opportunity presented itself.

**★★★★★ — Kyle Daniels, Dec. 2015**

> Miles a Keith make an awesome team.  They considered our needs to reimagine our existing layout and add new space where needed.  They put great thought into the little details that make a big difference.  We're coming to a close on our project and I can't recommend these architects and their team enough to anyone considering a remodel or new construction. Photos coming soon.

**★★★★★ — valerieb8, Sept. 2015**

> I worked with Keith Johnson. He helped me with my remodel and knew everything there was to know about dealing with the Art Jury. I highly recommend.

**★★★★★ — laurenmeskell, May 2015**

> We hired them for a large scale renovation and it has been a wonderful experience.  They created a few layouts as our needs/desires evolved and have been very accommodating and creative.  Plus my husband is a civil engineer who works with many architects and was very selective in choosing the right firm.  We would definitely recommend Keith and Miles especially if your house is in the south bay area as they have an expertise in designing for the local neighborhood styles.

**★★★★★ — Diane Barber Designery, Jan. 2015**

> As an interior designer, I have enjoyed collaborating with Pritzkat & Johnson on several projects over the years.  The firm's brilliant designs always delight my clients and provide creative inspiration for me. Their spirited approach to each project is consistently innovative with fresh and often unexpected design solutions. I look forward to every opportunity to work alongside the Pritzkat & Johnson team.

  - Photos: 13
  - Description: Interior Design by Debra Terrell Designs This Spanish Colonial Revival started off as an unassuming wood shingle ranch home. Although technically a remodel, every room was re-imagined to make the clients’ wish of living in a 1920’s Spanish style home a reality. The sloping property allowed for a two-story structure at the rear yard while maintaining a charming one-story profile from the street.

  - Description: This European Architecture inspired home was designed to entertain. The remodeled Kitchen overlooks the pool and, by eliminating the upper cabinets, lets in an abundance of natural light. With the addition of a 40-square-foot island, the space still allows for plenty of storage and a large serving area. A new exterior balcony and patio were added to create an outdoor entertaining area just off the main living space, and a new circular staircase transitions to a lower level pool patio complete wi…

  - Description: This Rustic Mediterranean home was originally a one-story structure with a semi-subterranean garage. During the extensive remodel, the house was supported on stilts while the lower level was carved out to provide for nearly twice as much livable square footage. As part of the new design, light wells on the sides of the house were created to bring natural light into the lower rooms while the upper level was designed to now take full advantage of the lush views of the Palos Verdes Hills Interior D…

  - Description: This Transitional Contemporary home remodel focused mainly on the redefining the interior space. We created functional areas that gave the owners the “galleries” they desired to display their various paintings, furniture and textiles. A terrace was added to the Master Bedroom to take advantage of the view, and a sculptural spiral staircase that winds down to a covered sitting area was also added to create an additional space to escape.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Is this the home on Navajo? Do you do smaller scale project plans?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I have a home nearby that needs to let its inner Spanish out with a kitchen/great room remodel and an exterior redesign rather than a full design.

A: Please email us at info@pritzkatjohnson.com for more information.  Thanks!

**Q: Paint color** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you tell me if this was a paint or plaster finish. If paint can you share the color name?! Beautiful home

A: It is a smooth plaster finish.

**Q: Great work** *(in Photo Questions)*

This entire "Palos Verdes Contemporary 2" is an amazing project. Great job.

A: Thank you, we agree.  ;)

**Q: What are the ballustrades made of?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: cast concrete

**Q: washer hookups** *(in Photo Questions)*

How were the washer's water lines and drain hidden? My plumber is telling me it has to be above the washer?

A: I actually don't know for sure how they did it.  My guess is anything they had to put above they hid behind the cabinetry.  Next time a contractor comes by I'll ask him to get a clear answer.

**Q: Exterior Siding on House** *(in Photo Questions)*

What brand of siding is on this house? I love the color and look of it! Curious if it is cedar or a vinyl product!

A: It is a cedar product pre-finished from a company called Shakertown.
