Los Angeles has a unique tradition of groundbreaking architecture. From the aesthetic simplicity of Arts and Crafts to the fantastical Hollywood Regency, to Spanish Revival’s earthy splendor, to sleek, sophisticated monuments to modernism, L.A. is an ever-evolving showcase for the most imaginative minds in the profession. Under the leadership of Erik B. Peterson, PHX Architecture has joined the ranks of these innovative pioneers with a strong focus on world-class residential, hospitality and clubhouse design. “PHX’s evolution from our Scottsdale headquarters to a second office in Beverly Hills was natural because being here keeps us ahead of the game in the industry and on the forefront of design,” Peterson says. “The fact that L.A. is such a competitive and demanding market with the eyes of the world watching inspires us to push boundaries and deliver our very best work.”
DESIGNCENTRIC DO’S “Legends at LCDQ is my favorite not-to-be-missed design event, followed closely by WestEdge and West Week,” says Peterson.
