TRE Architecture is a small, long-established architecture and planning firm based in Oceanside, California, with roots dating back to 1967. It was founded in San Diego by Amato Teta, and later joined by his son Allan, whose collaboration forms the core of the practice. The firm designs custom homes and residential communities across Southern California—from the coastline to Rancho Santa Fe—rooted in light, landscape, and the character of each site. The work emphasizes deliberate, place-based outcomes rather than passing trends. Projects begin by listening to clients to understand how they live, including their relationship with light, sense of arrival, and how a home should feel at the end of the day, with design then guided by climate, proportion, materiality, and site-specific character. The firm pursues time-tested, lasting architecture that expresses both place and the people who inhabit it across its service area from coastal San Diego to Rancho Santa Fe.
