Vertebrae Architecture

Vertebrae addresses each architectural inquiry with a unique approach. We fuse aesthetic intention and program to create formally compelling yet relevant design. Individual context and socially responsible motive are design drivers, with client collaboration serving as an essential reference point. Within the vast set of parameters that define each design problem, budget and time are considered positive challenges. Our work is rooted in rigorous material experimentation and exploration of evolving fabrication technologies and means of construction. Pushing these techniques, complexity, texture, and restraint are intertwined. Vertebrae's recent projects include private residences, commercial interiors, and large scale artworks and have appeared in the LA Times, Interior Design, The California Design Biennial, and numerous museums and galleries. Southern California residential work includes projects in Venice, Manhattan Beach and Los Feliz. Vertebrae is a Los Angeles based architecture practice founded by Lisa Little.
