Belzberg Architects, founded in 1997 by Hagy Belzberg, was established with a clear vision: to create a distinctive firm known for its relatability and fearless creativity. The practice quickly gained recognition thanks to its commitment to crafting beautiful, thoughtful architecture and interiors. Throughout the years, the firm has fostered a collective sense of curiosity and an eagerness to push the boundaries of design, always understanding that the best ideas emerge through collaboration.
The firm’s current studio space embodies its values and principles. Situated on Santa Monica’s lively and pedestrian-friendly Main Street, with convenient access to public transportation, unique local businesses, and just one block from the beach, it serves as a testament to their commitment to sustainable construction.
Belzberg Architects designed, developed, and constructed their studio using mass timber, offering it as a case study to city officials and other building owners to showcase the value of this eco-friendly construction system. They consistently strive for innovative design, practicing what they advocate. The result is an inspiring environment that fuels creativity for conceiving and producing their diverse body of work, which transcends typologies, scale, or geographical constraints, focusing instead on the explorative potential of each unique project.
