Alloi Inc. is an innovative architecture and construction company led by architects, with over a decade of experience since its inception in 2009. Dedicated to crafting both residential and commercial spaces, Alloi operates primarily within Southern California, although its influence reaches beyond the region. The firm is characterized by its seamless integration of architectural design and construction processes, ensuring that projects are not only visually stunning but also functionally harmonious.
The founding architect, Marcos Santa Ana, envisioned a firm that would elevate the building experience while drawing inspiration from iconic mid-century modernists such as Neutra and Schindler. The design philosophy at Alloi emphasizes a minimalist aesthetic, aiming to create spaces that foster clarity and tranquility. The company is known for its iterative and thorough design process, ensuring collaboration with clients throughout their journeys.
With a diverse international team that includes members with experiences across Scandinavia, Asia, Italy, and Africa, Alloi’s designs are enriched with global perspectives and an appreciation for sustainable practices, including Passive House standards. Their focus on high-performance design reflects a commitment to energy efficiency, health, and overall well-being, allowing clients to experience a serene lifestyle in thoughtfully crafted environments.
Alloi operates as a single-source design-build studio, which mitigates common miscommunication that can arise during construction. This holistic approach guarantees that each project aligns with the creative vision, maintaining high standards of craftsmanship and detail throughout the building process. The firm excels in creating calm and conscious living spaces that transform the lives of modern families, championing a design ethos that marries natural elements with contemporary living.
