Abramson Teiger Architects designs sculptural and light-filled modern homes, institutional and cultural buildings, and commercial spaces. The firm specializes in contemporary designs that bring the legacy of Southern California mid-century architecture into the present day. Headed by Trevor Abramson, FAIA, and Douglas Teiger, AIA, the award-winning Los Angeles firm designs dynamic structures of wood, glass, concrete, stone, and steel, with stripped-down forms and expansive windows that create a strong indoor/outdoor connection. Sustainability is central to the firm’s designs, which often incorporate new materials that promote thermal stability, bodies of water for evaporative cooling, and a strong focus on natural light. Layers Volumes Light: Abramson Teiger Architects showcases 15 residential and institutional projects. Among them are the sculptural Sinnott residence, the featured home in ABC’s hit television show “Modern Family” the soaring First Presbyterian Church in Encino, California, winner of multiple design awards from the American Institute of Architects and compelling modern houses in California, Wyoming, and Ontario.
