Anders Lasater Architects







"An architect must be passionate about his work. He should find pleasure in both the smallest detail and the grandest idea. From a modest remodel to a large custom home, I always find the passion in my work: it feeds and nourishes the project from start to finish and ensures a great piece of architecture."

Peter brings the same talent to his work with Anders Lasater Architects as he continues to consult with us on many of our projects. His masterful skills with space and light are most recently evidenced in the collaborative efforts on his new gallery space at 435 Ocean Avenue.
