Dutton Architects is a Los Angeles-based design firm which offers the highest quality architectural services that celebrate the creativity and joy of modern living. The firm is multi-disciplinary in spirit, looking at project constraints as opportunities to move beyond conventional and limiting solutions. Our process of creation is collaborative and each client is seen as providing a unique set of needs and contributing to the process in an open and fluid way, enabling a spirit of investigation that is guided but open to possibilities. John Dutton, the principal, oversees all projects himself, forging a personal relationship with each of his clients that is open, trusting, and collaborative.
