Since 1993, we at Blue Sky Studio have been offering our clients personal attention in making their home their very own.

​

Whether you are ready to design your Dream Home or your vacation home, remodel or add onto your current residence, add a Guest House or ADU, we are here to listen, imagine with you, and navigate you from concept to reality.

​

If you are remodeling a portion of your home, contact us about our 3-hour Design Charrette. We will come to your home, measure and draw the subject area and, with your active participation, develop in-person the design concept from which your project can be fully developed. The charge is $400 (a discount on our standard hourly rate) and you get to keep the sketches!

​

We look forward to collaborating with you on your project!

Donald Callahan Bryan

Principal

A grateful native of Southern California, Donald earned his Batchelor of Architecture degree from Cal Poly, Pomona in 1985. Working in both architecture and construction in his first post-baccalaureate year, he then took three years on the east coast where he worked for architects in North Carolina and on Nantucket Island.

Donald founded Blue Sky Studio in August of 1993, and has been working with discerning homeowners in Southern California from Pasadena, to Claremont, to Carpinteria..

"A great project results from a great team: the Architect who listens and guides, a talented contractor who realizes the spirit of the project, and, at the heart, the Owner who is dedicated to the journey."
