Collins+Architecture is a small architecture studio based in Carpinteria, California. Born and raised in New York City and Amagansett, Long Island, with stints in Seattle and Byron Bay, Australia, and with over thirty years experience working on primarily high-end residential projects, from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to the coast and mountains of California, principle Charles Collins AIA has gained a fluency in both contemporary and traditional vernaculars and particularly enjoys blending the two where possible. With a strong sense of design, a devotion to function, and a healthy respect for teamwork, the results speak for themselves.
