McGrane Design is an environmentally focused architectural design practice. Our services include architectural design, sustainable design, and LEED project consulting. Our goal is to create a new built condition that accomodates the user while minimizing its negative effects on the environment. We pride ourselves in creating close client relationships. Our goal is to include the client in all stages of the design process. Communication of design ideas is discussed over informal meetings with physical models, three dimensional representations, virtual tours, and conventional line drawings. Clients are encouraged to be open about any concerns and design ideas that may arise at any point during the project. Mathew McGrane is a graduate of the USC School of Architecture, he is a LEED Accredited Professional, and a member of the USC Architectural Guild.

Koffka/Phakos Design is a full service architecture firm specializing in sustainable design. We are committed to preserving the environment and creating living/work spaces based on a comprehensive understanding of the goals and visions of our clients, seeking to bring their ideas into the design at every stage. Together with a careful analysis of a project’s site, climate, and historical context, we develop appropriate design strategies. We aim to preserve the natural environment by using products with recycled content or from highly renewable resources. Energy conservation measures protect resources as well as reduce operating costs. And low-emission products improve indoor air quality and protect the health of a building’s occupants. Our firm has a project that will be featured on the History Channel’s “Green That House” in 2008. Cynthia Phakos is a LEED accredited professional and Build-It-Green certified and participates on numerous environmental committees.
