Architect Tom Mulica founded Story Architecture in January 2018 at 744 Agate St in Pacific Beach, 92109, after earning a Bachelor of Arts from Emory University and a Master of Architecture from the University of Washington. The firm is incorporated with the California Secretary of State under document number 4105938, and Mulica serves as CEO and lead architect. Story designs custom single-family homes, cottages, guest houses, and community-oriented structures with layouts shaped by how residents actually move through a space rather than by a stock template. The practice is associated with notable designer Roy McMakin, whose cross-disciplinary work in furniture, art, and architecture informs Story's integration of custom-built elements into its residential projects. Homeowners in North Pacific Beach who need a landscape plan alongside new construction can coordinate with EcoDesignSD, INC on Turquoise St. Mulica previously co-founded Fruit Punch, a separate creative venture, before focusing full-time on residential architecture in San Diego. The studio sits among the architecturally significant midcentury homes at 1210 through 1282 Agate St, designed by James Herbert Brownell in 1961 for developer Pearce & Co. and originally sold for $20,000 each. Those 17-foot-wide Brownell homes demonstrated that compact coastal lots could deliver privacy and outdoor living through clever window placement and extended deck walls. Clients who need a general contractor to build from Story's plans can reach SD CCS - Construction & Consulting Services for project management. Story's Houzz listing categorizes the practice as a boutique firm handling custom homes, modern residences, and public structures across the San Diego region. Mulica's University of Washington M.Arch training, rooted in the Pacific Northwest's timber-and-glass design tradition, shows in Story's use of natural wood, daylight, and restrained material palettes.
