Standard Architecture is a Los Angeles-based architecture and interior design partnership founded by Jeffrey Allsbrook and Silvia Kuhle. Their work is distinguished by its refined materiality, contextual sensitivity, and attention to detail. They frequently explore how architectural form, interior design, and identity interact, creating spaces that express narrative as much as function.
Operating since 1995, Standard has developed a diverse portfolio encompassing residential homes, retail environments, galleries, offices, and bespoke design commissions. Their projects often balance a modern aesthetic with regional and cultural considerations of Los Angeles, resulting in elegant, thoughtful spaces that reflect both place and purpose.
