We are inspired every day by many different styles, themes, industries, and mediums. Below are a few of our thoughts, current and past photos from our projects, and images that inspire us.

Architecture is not always easy, but it is days like today that make it all worth it. #wehavethebestclients #theypassedtheirfinalinspection #themovingvansshowuptomorrow

This area served as a large bank vault in a 1950's-constructed Bank of America building in Escondido, California. Now it will be a large group counseling room for high school students. Over the years, other building occupants removed the safe door and blew a hole in the end of the vault. We fell in love with the 16 inch thick, exposed, concrete walls and chose to celebrate them with simple, structural glass. #greatclients #adaptivereuse #concrete #exposedconcrete #exposedductwork #exposedceilings #architecture #design #kbarch #kristibyersarchitect #glass #glazing #oldbuildings
