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