Who We Are

 As shapers of the built environment, we  see it as our mission to not only create great places for people to live, work and play,  but also to move the needle forward on creating a more sustainable world.

We are a 28-person team of architects and construction managers who have worked on a wide variety of education, civic, commercial and transportation projects throughout California. For the past 15 years, AE3 has built an extensive design portfolio and has successfully managed construction projects of wide-ranging scope and budget.

We are an award-winning 100% African-American-Owned practice, and one of the largest minority owned architecture firms on the West Coast.
