Montalba Architects is a mid-sized architecture and urban design practice based in Santa Monica, operating across the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. The firm pursues select projects that blend client objectives with site conditions and broader cultural and economic contexts. It aims for environments that are contextual yet conceptually forward-looking, with an emphasis on human experience. The design approach highlights volumetric relationships, material integrity, and the control of natural light to address practical requirements and site considerations. The firm’s work reflects a design-focused practice with a portfolio spanning commercial interiors, residential settings, retail, mixed-use developments, and master planning, often undertaken through collaboration. A recent development includes the Carla Ridge residence in Beverly Hills, unveiled in 2024.
