We’re humbled and grateful to share that Ílios Residence has been published in AD Middle East. Named for the Greek word for sun, Ílios reimagines a 1980s Southern California residence as a contemporary expression of Greek and Armenian heritage, shaped by light, proportion, material restraint, and an elliptical oculus that traces the movement of the sun throughout the day. Thank you to @admiddleeast for the thoughtful feature. Read the full story at the link in bio.

Gardens & Villas in La Quinta redefines desert modernism — a seamless collaboration between @andrewmcclure (@nomaddesigninc & @mcclurehomes_db ) and Hatch. Designed with a refined, sustainable approach, the home blurs indoor and outdoor living, weaving shades pathways through lush gardens with panoramic views of fairways, lakes, and distant peaks. @wallpapermag explores our design philosophy, where innovation meets restraint.

How does Hatch design a house that emerges from the land? This is the process behind the Sacred Rock House, one of six homes envisioned for an undisclosed wellness resort in the mountains outside San Diego. Each house is conceived as a distinct response to site, climate, and the layered microclimates that shape Southern California. Together, they explore how architecture can draw us into closer relationship with the natural world, deepen our awareness of self, and invite a way of living that feels grounded, reciprocal, and alive. The larger vision is centered on longevity, understood not simply as duration, but as presence, meaning, and connection. For me, design begins in uncharted territory. The path is rarely clear at the outset. It is discovered gradually through sketching, testing, and listening, until the work reveals its form. #SacredRockHouse #HatchDesign #Architecture #NatureInspiredDesign #ConceptDesign

Art House, Miami Inspired by the rhythms of Biscayne Bay, shifting light on water, and the lush density of tropical landscape, this house is shaped by its surroundings. Designed as an immersive art gallery, the home unfolds in a U-shape around a central garden, framing a layered experience of art, water, landscape, and skyline. From morning light in the east to sunsets over Miami in the west, the architecture transforms with the day. #miamiarchitecture #biscaynebay #artcollector #miami #architecture

La Quinta. 11,000 SF. Four pools. Zero boundaries. A case study in eliminating the threshold between inside and out. Mass walls and roof planes pass by each other, deconstructing form until the building dissolves. What remains: a labyrinth of gardens and villas where inhabitants co-live with the desert.

Where California meets the Mediterranean. Le Petit Pali, Laguna Beach is a careful rehab of a 1950s mid-century coastal motel, reimagined as the flagship for PaliSociety’s newest brand, @lepetitpali . We focused on preserving the original spirit while elevating every detail: warm courtyards, ocean light, and a palette that feels sun-washed and timeless. A project about restraint, character, and letting the building’s history do the talking. 📍Laguna Beach, CA Collaboration with @erichbrandongomez #HATCHArchitecture #LePetitPali #PaliSociety #LagunaBeach #HospitalityDesign #MidCenturyModern #AdaptiveReuse
