Conner & Perry Architects, Inc.

Conner & Perry Architects was founded in 2015 in Santa Monica, California by partners Kristopher Conner and James Perry, who came together while working with architect Duncan Nicholson. There they both were trained in the philosophy and tradition of Organic Architecture as it was taught to Duncan by world-renowned master of modern architecture, John Lautner. We apply this philosophy of design to a contemporary practice that addresses the challenges and concerns of today’s clientele and marketplace, while maintaining a sense of timelessness that is inherent in an architecture that is at once unique, profound, and useful.

The philosophy of Organic Architecture is rooted in the individual calculus derived uniquely for each and every project from three overriding aspects.

The Site: Architecture is in and of its environment. Materials, form, and details are inspired by and relate to the milieu of the building’s ecology.

The Program: Architecture is of use, fulfilling its intended purpose through form and organization. 

The Client: Architecture is a reflection of the person(s) for whom it is designed.

As the architect we invent a structural and formal solution that marries these three aspects into a complete work of art and provide a clear path forward to making that vision a reality. The core idea behind this solution permeates every aspect of the project, from the overall site strategy to the smallest details. Our goal is to provide a design for each client that will exceed their imagined possibilities while meeting their concrete expectations.
