Areas of practice
Residential
In our residential practice, we typically participate from the initial steps of location and site selection through to the end when you move in. We are a full-service, end-to-end architecture firm rooted in the belief that collaboration, from start to finish, yields superior results.
We collaborate not only with you but also collaborate with and manage the builder, interior designer, landscape architect, automation consultant, lighting designer and civil engineer. We’ll take care of the procurement of all remaining engineering including structural, mechanical, plumbing and electrical. We obtain approvals from all governing bodies with jurisdiction over the site for design reviews, zoning and all relevant building permits. We want you focused on the dream and not the minutiae of the process. cca—end-to-end architectural integrity and continuity.
Commercial & Planning
Boutique commercial, resort, spa, restaurant & retail
In our commercial practice, we work with public and private developers on both large- and small-scale projects. Our particular process combined with decades of experience drives our approach. We’re experienced, proactive, diligent yet agile. We engage in every project with a focus on innovation in design, positive experience of our clients and their customers, branding considerations in pursuit of creating a deep and lasting sense of awe. We design real-world space for real-world applications.
In terms of Planning, we believe solid planning requires a mastery of the following set of considerations: overall focus and vision, understanding demographics, understanding movement in terms of the intent, flow and focus of the spaces, understanding the market all with an eye toward the future—growth with the purposeful design of controlled expansion.
Interiors & Furniture
We view interior architecture as in integral and inherent part of every commercial and residential project. Space, and the elements within the space, are as much as part of the experience as the architectural structure itself. Whether we are collaborating with an outside interior design firm, or you contract cca to design the interior spaces, our approach to conceptualizing and creating interiors and furnishings remains consistent: design for innovation, experience of the inhabitant (you), branding, and lasting awe.
Design throughout the Southwest
Walk outside our doors here in Scottsdale, Arizona and meet the coveted Sonoran Desert—widely considered the most diverse and beautiful desert in the world. The Sonoran Desert has always been an inspiring, powerful influence on how we approach designing within it. We not only have respect for it, we have a sense of responsibility to retain its magnificance by finding creative ways to maintain its unique beauty by minimizing our footprint. Urban, desert or mountain, Arizona offers an experience rich in diversity and flexibility that has taught us how a site can impact our experience and lifestyle.
