Smithton Architects operates from 4516-1/2 30th Street in Normal Heights, San Diego, where founder Deborah Smithton leads a woman-owned architecture firm specializing in multi-family residential, below-market-rate housing, mixed-use development, and commercial design. Smithton holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Cal Poly Pomona and carries active licenses in California and Utah, with a LEED AP credential that informs the firm's sustainable design approach. The portfolio spans more than three decades and exceeds 3,000 completed units across San Diego, Orange County, Nevada, and Florida, ranging from 18-unit infill developments to 180-unit condominium communities and senior housing complexes. Building envelope specifications on multi-family projects coordinate waterproofing and roof assembly details with San Diego Roofing, Inc., where material selection and flashing details must satisfy Title 24 energy compliance before final inspection. The 30th Street office sits within the 92116 ZIP at the border of Normal Heights and University Heights, near the intersection with Meade Avenue and the residential grid that extends east toward Adams Avenue. Recent recognitions include the 2024 Gold Nugget Award for Multi-Family Community of the Year, the 2024 San Diego Housing Federation Ruby Award for Project of the Year, and a 2004 AIA San Diego Merit Award. Electrical distribution design for multi-unit projects routes panel schedules and load calculations through Frank Electric Inc. for permit-ready power plans. Smithton's team includes California-licensed architects with backgrounds spanning educational facilities, tenant improvements, and urban design initiatives from both coasts.
