PLacemaking

At DMHA, architecture encompasses more than the buildings we design. Our team has the proven ability to envision the potential of each project, and create meaningful architecture that fosters communal connection. Whether it is adaptive reuse, corporate headquarters, or mixed-use housing, DMHA’s work is dedicated to thoughtful ‘placemaking’.

We have had the privilege of designing high-profile projects throughout Santa Barbara County. Our work on Linden Avenue, the Santa Barbara Bowl, and the infamous Funk Zone, show our unique ability to create spaces that bring people together, set in motion a string of new renovations, and eventually become cherished landmarks. Our expertise in seeing a project as more than the sum of its parts distinguishes our design approach.
