About Assembledge +

Dry Falls Residence

A B O U T AS S E M B L E D G E + Since its inception, Assembledge+ has steadfastly pursued an architectural vision rooted in a dedication to collaborative efforts and craftsmanship. This commitment seeks to forge enduring spaces prioritizing user experience, fostering innovation, and upholding sustainability principles.

We believe in the art of collaboration.

The name Assembledge+ was purposefully chosen to encapsulate the firm’s zeal for “assembling” the often intricate components of the design process. This results in an architecture that is timeless, attuned to its environment uplifts the human spirit. The “+” symbolizes an approach that comprehends the comprehensive interplay of interconnected elements, recognizing that architecture transcends mere drawings and an assembly of building materials. It encompasses a collaborative journey with clients, specialized consultants, builders, and, of course, the team members. It also entails an ongoing exploration and innovation – both programmatic and technological – to pursue optimal, tailored solutions for each project.

Our work may be characterized as warm modernism – a vocabulary featuring legibility of form, an embrace of the sunlight, and a material palette that evokes a sense of warmth and texture.

Founded and led by David Thompson, AIA, Assembledge+ offers to every project, large or small, high levels of design sensitivity, technical expertise, and principal hands-on involvement.

Our approach to architecture is rooted in the belief that design is successful when users enjoy themselves in a space but aren’t quite sure why. For us, architecture should be timeless, attuned to its environment, and elevating the human spirit.

Leveraging our inclusive approach, collaborative process, and the strengths of each studio member, our design capabilities are continually evolving, resulting in architectural work that is carefully crafted and in unity with its surroundings.

Our design process begins with questions. What is the program and the intent? What is the aspiration? A thorough analysis informs these conversations of the site – the property, the neighboring community, and the client’s specific needs and aspirations. The resulting architecture combines these imperatives with materials, technology, craftsmanship, and form.

The creation of lasting environments, developed with a sense of responsibility, stands as a defining aspect of the firm’s design ethos. This is achieved through the implementation of sustainable strategies, the crafting of adaptable sequences of highly functional enclosed and open spaces, and the dissolution of boundaries between interior and exterior realms.

RUSTIC CANYON RESIDENCE A seamless integration of a dwelling and landscape.

Perched on the crest of a westward canyon, Rustic Canyon Residence is a serene retreat that exudes a treehouselike ambiance, seamlessly blending with its natural surroundings.

The extensive use of Western Red Cedar, both indoors and out, allows the home to blend organically with the landscape as if emerging naturally from the ground.

Embracing the principles of organic modernism, the home features a carefully chosen palette of materials, including brick, cork, ebonized oak, and black metal. Expansive windows and natural materials enhance the sense of being among the trees, while the open floor plan fosters a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

LAUREL HILLS RESIDENCE A serene family home that opens wide to great outdoors.

Comprising three pavilions connected by glass hallways, this single-story Los Angeles residence forms a serene oasis.

The Western Red Cedar-lined guest house/garage pavilion sets a datum line that links the larger living and sleeping pavilions, featuring oversized charcoalcolored board, batten extira, and cement board siding. Deep overhangs counter solar heat and shield from sun exposure.

Seamless flow among the kitchen, family and living room, designed for uninterrupted entertainment, creates a translucent and lightweight harmony. A key project aim was to deeply engage the living experience with the property’s natural landscape, achieved through large windows, skylights, and pocketing doors that conjure layered scenes and infuse the home with light.

FRYMAN CANYON RESIDENCE A contemporary take on mid century style maximizing views of the outdoor space.

Nestled in the hills of Studio City, the Fryman Canyon Residence, the residence gives a sense of transparency, bringing in ample light and extending the living area outside, into the tiered landscape.

Main living spaces are linked by zig-zagsliding doors opening to the garden, while a new family room, echoing the sawtooth motif, descends two steps below the main floor. The kitchen, elevated slightly above the family room, incorporates skylights and white marble walls.

This document will serve as a contractual agreement for the provision of services, which is formulated in accordance with the Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect as prescribed by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), subsequent to the mutual acceptance of the proposed remuneration and scope of work.

1.0 Architecture | Design + Documentation Services The project is proposed to follow a standard architectural design process composed of the following phases and as outlined by the AIA: 1.1 Architecture | Schematic Design Phase Assembledge+ will work with the Owner to gather all necessary information to create a foundation for a successful project. This includes owner supplied items such as site surveys, geotechnical reports, and documentation of all existing conditions. Additionally, this encompasses establishing the program, functional requirements, and scope of the project in detail.

Assembledge+ will take into consideration key information such as the Owner’s program, land surveys, and zoning codes to develop a Schematic Design which illustrates the building mass, scale, and use. An iterative approach will be taken with up to (2) layout & building massing options. The experience in and around the building will be designed considering generally the size and location of windows, doors, built-in casework, views, functionality, and practicality. The overall project scope and design vision will be finalized at the conclusion of this phase, captured in a Schematic Design Package.

(2) Owner Design Review meetings are included, wherein Assembledge+ will present the development of the project and solicit feedback.

Assembledge+ will work closely with all parties to ensure necessary building systems are coordinated without compromising the architectural design. As this process occurs, the architectural plans will be developed in greater detail in an effort to fix the size, quantity, and location of all aspects of the design including walls, rooms, openings, built-in cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, lighting, etc.

During this phase, preliminary drawings and specifications will be submitted to the local planning authorities as required for any applicable planning approvals.

Assembledge+ will respond to any comments or corrections as required to secure approvals.

2.0 Interior Architecture | Design + Documentation Services 2.1 Interior Architecture | Design Phase Based on the approved Design Development drawings, Assembledge+ will develop a conceptual design and mood boards for all major interior spaces. Material options will be developed in collaboration with the Owner, and renderings will be provided for visualization purposes. The overall design vision and FF&E selections will be finalized at the conclusion of this phase, captured in an Interior Schematic Design Package.

(3) Owner Design Review meetings are included, wherein Assembledge+ will present the development of the project and solicit feedback.

2.2 Interior Architecture | Documentation Phase Following approval of the Interior Schematic Design Package, Assembledge+ will prepare the Interior Construction Documents set for the interior design scope of the project.

This will include coordination with contractors, site visits, production of clarification sketches, and review of the necessary shop drawings.

Assembledge+ proposes to have a representative on site for Owner, Architect, and Contractor meetings once a week included in the proposed fees.

The hours required for this phase will vary and be based on our best professional judgment. Assembledge+ will keep the owner informed of progress and fee status at regular intervals to be determined upon execution of this agreement. Assembledge+ is not responsible for creating or delivering construction timelines.

4.0 Additional Services Any services that are requested or required by the Owner but are not specifically defined in this proposal will be considered Additional Services.

5. SUSPENSION. If the Owner fails to make timely payments to the Architect in accordance with the Agreement or others defaults under the Agreement, on not less than ten (10) days’ written notice, the Architect shall have the right to suspend the performance of its services under the Agreement until such payment is made or default is cured, as applicable. In the event of a suspension, the Architect shall have no liability to the Owner for any damage or delay caused to the Owner due to such suspension. Before resuming services, the Owner shall pay all amounts due to the Architect, including any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Architect due to the suspension and resumption of the Architect’s services. The Architect’s fees for the remaining services and time schedules, if any, shall be equitably adjusted, if appropriate under the circumstances.

6. TERMINATION. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement to the contrary, the Agreement may be terminated by either party, upon written notice to the other party if the other party fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days of the giving of such notice for monetary defaults and within thirty (30) days of the giving of such notice for non-monetary defaults. In

such event, the parties shall have such rights, remedies and obligations as may be provided at law or in equity.

All drawings, plans, specifications and other documents (collectively, the “Work Product”) prepared by the Architect under the Agreement are instruments of the Architect's services and subject to the terms of the Agreement, the Architect shall retain all common law, common statutory and other reserved rights, including the copyright. The Architect grants to the Owner a non-exclusive license to reproduce the Architect’s instruments of service solely for purposes of constructing, using, maintaining, remodeling and rebuilding the Project, provided that the Owner substantially performs its obligations under the Agreement, including prompt payment of all sums when due. In the event the Owner uses the Work Product without retaining the authors of the Work Product, the Owner releases the Architect and its consultant(s) from all claims and causes of action arising from such uses. The Owner, to the extent permitted by law, further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Architect and its consultants from all costs and expenses, including the cost of defense, related to claims and causes of action asserted by any third person or entity to the extent such costs and expenses arise from the Owner’s use of the Work Project Without the Architect’s prior written consent, the Work Product may not be used by the Owner or any third party for future phases or additions to the Project, or for any other projects, whether by the Owner or others. Any unauthorized use of the Work Product without specific written verification and adaptation by the Architect for its intended purposes will be at the user's sole risk and without liability or legal exposure to the Architect.

The Architect retains ownership of any developed designs, graphics, patterns, custom-designed products/furniture, branding, etc. and reserves all rights to reuse them on future projects with other clients.

8. OWNER RESPONSIBILITIES. The Owner shall provide the Architect with all necessary information, documents, surveys, reports and drawings required for the design services for this Project in a timely manner, and the Architect shall be entitled to rely on the same. The Owner must make decisions and approve the Architect’s submittals in a timely manner to avoid unreasonable

delay in the Architect’s progress of services. The Owner must provide prompt written notice to the Architect if the Owner becomes aware of any defect or fault in the Project, including errors, omissions or inconsistencies in the Architect’s surveys, models, sketches, drawings, specifications, and other similar materials. If requested by the Architect, the Owner shall furnish evidence that financial arrangements have been made to fulfill the Owner’s responsibilities under the Agreement. If and to the extent the Project includes any services in connection with more than one (1) residential unit, the Owner represents and warrants to the Architect that the Project is intended to be developed as an apartment complex and the Owner does not currently intend to sell or transfer ownership of any apartment unit or other improvement to separate owners for individual residential use. The Owner acknowledges that the Architect has not been asked to design the Project for condominium ownership and that the Architect’s risk of liability or potential liability in condominium projects is greater than in "for-rent" residential apartment projects.

Accordingly, in no event may the Owner convert the Project to a condominium prior to ten (10) years from the date a certificate of occupancy is issued for the Project.

9. INSURANCE. The Architect, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain the following insurance for the duration of the Agreement: (i) Commercial General Liability in the amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate, naming the Owner as an additional insured; (ii) Professional Liability covering negligent acts, errors and omissions in the performance of professional services with policy limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per claim and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate; (iii) Worker’s Compensation as required by law; and (iv) Automobile Liability covering owned and rented vehicles operated by the Architect with policy limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit and aggregate for bodily injury and property damage.

It is recognized, however, that the Architect has no control over the cost of labor, materials, equipment, the contractor’s methods of determining bid prices, or competitive bidding, market or negotiating conditions.

Accordingly, the Architect cannot and does not warrant or represent that bids or negotiated prices will not vary from the Owner’s Project budget or from any estimate of construction cost or evaluation prepared or agreed to by the Architect.
