Our Work: Architectural Projects That Shape Space and Purpose

Our Work: Architectural Projects That Shape Space and Purpose

At Alcala Architecture, we believe that great design is about more than appearance — it’s about how people experience space. Our portfolio reflects over 45 years of combined experience in designing and building spaces that are innovative, efficient, and grounded in function.

From custom homes to commercial developments and community-focused urban design, our work spans a range of scales and building types across Southern California. Each project is a result of close collaboration with clients, careful attention to context, and a commitment to delivering high-performance environments that last.

This portfolio offers a look into some of our most impactful work — designed with purpose and built with precision.

Residential Projects

Our residential designs are modern, minimal, and always personalized. We work with homeowners, builders, and developers to create homes that reflect lifestyle, site conditions, and long-term value.

Each home we design is unique — yet all are shaped by the same principles: comfort, simplicity, and sustainability.

Commercial Projects

We design commercial spaces that support business operations, reinforce brand identity, and meet code requirements without compromise. Our portfolio includes retail, office, restaurant, and light industrial projects — both new builds and tenant improvements.

Urban Design and Planning

Urban spaces require thoughtful coordination between infrastructure, zoning, and public experience. Our planning and design work contributes to smart growth, livable communities, and vibrant mixed-use development.

How We Work

Every project in our portfolio was delivered through a thoughtful, collaborative process. We guide clients from initial consultation through design, permitting, and construction — ensuring each project is completed with clear communication, detailed planning, and architectural integrity.

  • Tailored design based on real needs and goals
  • Cost-conscious planning and value engineering
  • Realistic timelines and clear milestone tracking
  • Coordination with consultants, engineers, and contractors
  • Full support through city approvals and inspections
