Currently, Fred Hoffman Architecture provides planning and design services for residential projects of all sizes.

Because of his practice in Southern California, Fred has become expert in designing hillside structures. The firm frequently presents projects before the Mulholland Design Review Board and boasts an impressive 100% approval of their designs.

Mr. Hoffman's approach to his successful practice is to coordinate with small teams of experts appropriate to each venture. This way, control over the building process can be maximized, while working with outside consultants for engineering and specialties. He is committed to personally serving the client, and encourages client participation as a vital part of the creative process throughout the development. He strives to unite design concepts, functional requirements and financial considerations to derive successful project conclusions.
