Services
Our interior design team specializes in high end custom residential and boutique commercial spaces. We work to create calm and comforting interiors for our clients with a timeless design. We focus on the fundamentals of light, scale, proportion, and material. Our attention to detail and knowledge of construction allows us to execute projects smoothly and deliver our clients the highest quality product possible.
We believe that landscape is an extension of the architecture and it should be given the same level of attention. The best projects create a subtle dialogue between a structure and the surrounding landscape, each complimenting and strengthening the other. Our landscape designs are site specific. Each design respects the local environment and celebrates the native plant species, ground cover, rock formations, and climate of an area.

I have had the pleasure of working with ROST Architects on a few projects. I worked closely with Mitchell through the specification process through construction and project completion. On each project in which I participated the final product was amazing. ROST Architects really pays attention to every last detail. I look forward to working with Mitchell on more jobs in the future.

I had the pleasure of working as a project manager for the construction of a new home in Corona del Mar designed by ROST Architects. The responsiveness and professionalism displayed by Alex and Mitch were critical in the execution of the project. ROST created the plan for a stunning and unique home.
Most importantly from the perspective of a general contractor, Mitch was actively involved in coming up with the best solutions whenever issues arrived. Some architects draw amazing plans with little regard to the actual ability to execute - that was not the case with Mitch. He pushed the envelope

We worked with Rost Architects on the design of our new home. We had very big ambitions to create something unique, modern, beautiful, and very livable. From the design and flow of the home to quality of materials, the details mattered. Rost understood our desires and delivered through a highly collaboratively approach, a truly remarkable home for our family. Building a home isn’t always easy, but Rost has proven to be an invaluable partner through their management of the project, their responsiveness to our needs and of course, through the creative ideas and vision for our home. We highly recommend

There are only three things that matter when it comes to building effectively and architectural collaboration. Those three are Details, Details, and Details. Mitchell and his team went out of their way from beginning to end to make sure the plans and design left nothing to chance when it came to the details on the recently finished CDM project. Their creativity and execution far surpassed the client's expectations and the results were incredible. Congrats to ROST!

We had the pleasure of working with Rost Architects on our custom home in Pasadena. We collaborated closely with them on the design of both structures on our property. They took care of the architectural design, interior design, construction drawings and permitting on the project. They also helped with a vision for the landscape and site planning for the property. We are very pleased with the high level of design and service they provide. Highly recommended.
