We are architects and designers driven by a deep commitment to creating places where people feel a true sense of belonging. At the core of our practice is a clear mission: to design buildings where people are drawn to — places that enrich daily life, foster connection, and stand the test of time. Our research-based design approach uncovers the deeper potential within every project, resulting in inclusive, resilient environments—deeply rooted in their context—that uplift communities.

Our clients come to us at pivotal moments, navigating growth, change, and new possibilities. We meet them with experience and clarity, turning uncertainty into forward momentum. As trusted advisers, we help navigate complexity and guide thoughtful, well-informed decisions at every step. This close collaboration leads to award winning projects, cost-effective solutions, and long-term partnerships with clients who return to us again and again.

We engage fully with all of the elements at play; with people and their needs, but also with ideas, materials, light, and technology. More than simply informing design, the holistic way in which we approach our work reflects our openness to the world itself. This fuels us in creating meaningful experiences that bring to life the greater opportunities within each project.

Our work is living proof of what such experiences make possible: inherently healthy, inclusive, and resilient places that delight and benefit entire communities for generations to come.

Founded in Los Angeles with a strong foundation in designing custom residences, Abramson Architects has grown into a multidisciplinary architectural practice with a national presence. As our portfolio expanded to include healthcare, workplace, cultural, and retail spaces, so did our ability to support clients across a diverse range of projects. In 2023, we opened a second full-service office in San Diego—a strategic move that strengthened our technical expertise and brought us closer to new communities and collaborators. Today, we operate across the U.S. and Canada, delivering architecture that is both technically rigorous and emotionally resonant.

Our Events Committee is Abramson Architects’ way to cut loose and socialize within our industry. The Events Committee helps plan our seasonal get-togethers with friends and family, along with participating in industry events like IIDA’s annual Halloween costume contest, Haunt Couture. From Summer cookouts to holiday parties, our events committee is the beating heart of our office.

Our Los Angeles office is ideally situated on the West Jefferson corridor. We take pride in being a part of West Adam's vibrant resurgence and share in the community's passion for creating pedestrian-friendly, human-scale buildings. Through our neighborhood restaurant series, hosted on Instagram, we actively explore and support local eateries, with a particular focus on promoting minority-owned establishments.

As professionals in an ever-changing field, it’s important that we continue to keep ourselves informed of industry trends and technological developments. Our Lunch & Learn series provides our team with an easy and fun way to expand our knowledge and gain credits in continuing education with the AIA. We are delighted whenever our friends in textiles and interiors come by and coordinate an evening of merriment for us. From arts-and-crafts to pumpkin carving, we are happy to have such thoughtful partners.

Our San Diego office builds on our well-established presence in Southern California. Initially specializing in healthcare, the office holds a deep-rooted foundation in patient-centered design and Health Care Access and Information (HCAI). The San Diego Team members are recognized throughout the region for their role in promoting healing through intelligent design.
