Category Design Group | Architecture & Interior Design in LA

Where vision is refined

We craft spaces with meaning—where architecture and interiors work in harmony to reflect the stories, emotions, and purpose behind each project.

Crafting Spaces That

Inspire and Endure

At Category Design Group, we believe that every environment has the potential to become a work of art. Our team is dedicated to creating thoughtful architecture and interiors that elevate everyday life, blending timeless aesthetics with purposeful design that connects people to the spaces they inhabit.

Our Difference

Category Design Group was born from our own frustrations as developers—repeatedly working with architects who forced impossible trade-offs: stunning designs that were impractical and exorbitantly expensive to build, or cost-conscious plans that lacked beauty, sophistication, and timeless appeal.

We refused to accept that beauty and constructibility had to be mutually exclusive. Instead, we built an in-house design studio that thinks like a developer from day one.Our vertically integrated model—rooted in long-term ownership—ensures every line drawn serves enduring value. We create spaces with timeless aesthetic appeal, resilient and realistic cost structures, and unwavering quality that eliminates downstream surprises.

Core Strengths

Upfront Planning & Value Engineering

We identify coordination issues, optimize details, and refine concepts early—delivering refined beauty without inflated budgets.

Exploring the Art of Architectural Design

Full 3D/BIM workflows enable faster iterations, precise coordination, and visualization that keeps projects on track and within reach.

Cost-Conscious Constructibility

Backed by in-house construction expertise and engineering depth, we design buildings that are beautiful yet efficiently buildable—avoiding change orders and unnecessary expense.

Design-Centric Culture

We never compromise on taste or detail, yet we implement intent swiftly and accurately in the field, resulting in superior finished quality that stands the test of time.

The result is a partnership that feels effortless. Owners and developers work with a design team that truly understands their priorities—delivering inspiring, high-value architecture that is easier to build, more predictable in cost, and built to last.
