About

Encinitas Design Group operates from Leucadia's Vulcan Avenue corridor as a full-service architecture and design-build collective handling residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects across Southern California. Current mixed-use commissions include urban infill sites blending ground-floor retail with upper-story residential units, projects requiring structural-concrete coordination with general contractors such as REMOCA General Contractors during the foundation phase. The founding principal holds AIA licensure and former leadership of the Palomar section of the San Diego American Institute of Architects, with design-build experience since 1989 spanning Illinois, Arizona, and California. Multi-family residential projects in the 92024 ZIP require Title 24 energy modeling and CALGreen compliance documentation, with finish schedules specifying engineered flooring from local suppliers such as CALI Floors to meet both durability and sustainability thresholds. Highest-tier commissions involve 28-unit multifamily structures requiring Type V-A wood-frame construction over Type I-A concrete podium, with seismic detailing per CBC Chapter 16 and Title 24 Part 6 energy modeling for San Diego's Climate Zone 7.
