"I have been designing high-end custom homes since 1984. In that time, with my personal requirement of contractor / architect interaction, no building firm has come close to the service and end product that JMA has provided on this residence. If it were possible to clone JMA throughout the regions I practice...I would!" — Daniel Martinez, Architect, Laguna Beach

Whispering Oaks

An owner's passion for fine woodworking.

Substantial retaining walls for the road were built to allow access to this Craftsman style home. In keeping with the style, there is a great connection between the indoor and outdoor space. The project also included a large woodshop to allow the owner to indulge his hobby. In fact, the home displays some of his craftsmanship in the main fireplace mantle as well as other woodwork created for the home.
