Modern multi-family housing in Los Angeles designed for developers prioritizing sustainability and leasing performance

Purposeful Design That Brings Possibilities to Life

At Bricolage, Inc., we believe that great design begins with imagination—and is driven forward by a deep understanding of craft, context, and the unique challenges of each project.  

Designing What's Next

We are creative problem-solvers at heart, approaching architecture as both an art and an opportunity to think ahead: to question convention, anticipate needs, and shape spaces that are as intelligent as they are inspired.

Form & Function

Whether designing a multifamily building, a mixed-use development, or a single-family home, we work with curiosity, rigor, and a commitment to livability. We consider not just how a space looks, but how it feels, functions, and endures over time. 

With Every Partner, at

Every Scale — We Shape Meaningful Spaces

Working fluidly across scales and sectors, we partner with developers to realize distinctive communities and collaborate with individuals to create homes that are personal, purposeful, and lasting.

"Leslie Wilson helped us transform our living/family room into a mid-century modern inspired space. She has exceptional design sense and was wonderful to work with. We love the end result and will use Bricolage for our future renovations."

Jenny Nugent

"Jim was there for us through every phase of one of the most complex projects we’ve taken on, from design to construction, with professionalism and confidence. After replacing the original architect during construction, Bricolage stepped in seamlessly to help us complete the project.”

Rony Shram

"Jim understands how to navigate sensitive land use matters with both design insight and political acumen. His clarity and respectful engagement with community stakeholders and City Planning staff was instrumental in securing approval for large, multifamily project."

Ellia Thompson, Esq.
Venable LLP

"Leslie is very creative and we really got the best result taking a bland home and turning into a real eye-popper that fits our style and design aesthetic."

Brett Conrad

We’ve worked with Bricolage on three different residential and mixed-use projects and they brought a thoughtful, clear approach that helped move the project in the right direction. Their design work was smart and well considered—they’re proactive, creative, and easy to work with. The staging and presentation were spot-on, and the units were sold or leased easily.

Brian Gelt
Canfield Development, Inc.

"When our bathroom was determined to have toxic black mold inside the walls, our friends at Bricolage went into action, designing for us, not only a cleaner more efficient space but an updated, beautiful one as well."
