We are honored to be working on another project with Jonathan Grahm, Owner of Famous Chocolatier, Compartés. Krueger Architects has been engaged to design a new retail space and company headquarters. The firm recently relocated their headquarters and factory to a combined location. This provided amazing inspiration for the design and afforded us the ability to incorporate unique vistas into the factory and the chocolate kettles mixing delicious chocolate just feet away. The smells are amazing!

Kurt Krueger, Principal Architect and Owner of Krueger Architects based in Brentwood discussed California’s goal for net zero housing by 2020in the January 2019 edition of Living Brentwood. Kurt is the expert architect contributor for Living Brentwood, an exclusive magazine serving the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. Below is the full article as it appeared in the January 2019 issue.
Radiant floor heating is an excellent choice for renovations in Southern California. Many of the existing homes in and around Los Angeles were not originally built with heating or air conditioning. This means that no ductwork exists and when you’re doing a renovation, trying to figure out how and where to install ductwork has its challenges. Many times you can’t go through existing walls because it either changes the aesthetic of the architecture and, equally bad, it can’t be done because of structural concerns.
When you are a design-build firm and you are hired to do a major renovation of a historically significant home, it’s a bit like being a detective. The owners of these homes are generally interested in preserving the character and style of the home–all the things they love about it–and getting rid of all the things they hate. You’ve got to work with them to figure out these important details and to also discover what the the original architect’s intentions were.
The Westside of Los Angeles may be up for a renovation and re-imagination of the area around the famed Civic in Santa Monica. Closed since 2013, the Civic once hosted the Academy Awards (1961-1967).
The design of the front yard courtyard entertaining area with onyx firepit was featured in a recent article on Houzz, “See How 20 Patios Celebrate the Fire Pit.” The article details unique and creative ideas to incorporate a firepit into your outdoor setting. Using inset LED lighting behind the exterior grade onyx stone, the firepit has a soft glow when used at night. During the day, it serves as a stunning focal point on this outdoor patio. Our design took top billing in the list of ’20 Patios Celebrate the Fire Pit.’
Kurt Krueger, Principal Architect and Owner of Krueger Architects was asked to be the expert architect contributor for Living Brentwood. Living Brentwood is an exclusive magazine serving the Brentwood neighborhood. As the “Expert Architect,” Kurt Krueger was asked to provide his insight on the best ways to use lighting to enhance your interior and exterior spaces.
The French version of Houzz recently included an article about designs and materials for outdoor partitions, wall cladding, and shade structures. They selected 12 outstanding examples of unique outdoor enclosures and creative ways to elevate the design of your outdoor entertaining spaces.
Krueger Architects was honored that Houzz choose to feature the shade structure we’d designed for the Joffre backyard. This vertical metal slat structure is used to both create shade as well as an intimate conversation area with seating and a fire feature.
