Personal spaces, real choices
I recently returned to a home I designed in 2003 to oversee a light refresh. While the home has transitioned through different ownerships over the last two decades, the architecture remains as sound and relevant today as it was when it was first built.
Choosing your true north
I don't believe in claiming a static style for my work. Great design should respond to its context, its place, and human behavior—variables far too complex to capture with a simple label. At its best, life and design are appropriate, not performative.
A quiet commitment
Ever since I was a kid, nature has been my sanctuary. But lately, I look at the world and feel a heavy sense of responsibility for the damage we've done. I don't want to leave this place worse for the next generation, especially for my sons.
The earth will thank us
Labor Day always makes me stop and think, not about celebrating labor, but about the path I was forced to take over a decade ago. That’s when the noise of constant work started to fade, in a way that feels very similar to the disruptions so many have experienced more recently.

I have worked with Ryan on multiple projects over the years all with great success. First on remodels and more recently on a home design from the ground up for a home that bridges the gap between modern and southwestern. Ryan has great design ideas that I would of never of thought of on my own. He is very passionate about design and is able to listen well to his clients needs.
I highly recommend you reach out to him no matter how large the project.

Working with Singer Design was hands down the best decision we made for our new home. Ryan Singer completely transformed our plans into something truly extraordinary. He’s not just incredibly talented—he’s also a genuinely good guy, down-to-earth, easy to work with, and really listens to what you want. His designs blew us away, and the process turned out to be one of the most enjoyable moments of our project. If you’re looking for someone to take your vision and turn it into something amazing, Ryan’s definitely your guy. Being an amazing architect is clearly in his DNA. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Ryan Singer. He helped us with a major remodel about 3 years ago and we are extremely happy with his work and overall design vision. Every person that walks into my house are completely surprised and impressed with the level of craftmanship and detail that his capable of. I would hire Ryan for any and all future work.

We chose Ryan for a number of reasons, first and foremost because he carries on the legacy of his father, Mark Singer, who designed and built our house in Laguna Beach 20-plus years ago.
We have found Ryan to be quite talented, visionary, and most importantly, creative with solutions for any design accommodations that may come up. Due to our life style changes and family downsizing, we needed to convert two bedrooms/two baths into a second master suite and a study to suit our current lifestyle. It was an involved project and required several changes during the process. Ryan was always available, communicative, and ready to be on site when needed.
He is not only the perfect person to follow his father’s footstep, but also has the creative energies to work with and guide us along the way. He is meticulous at every step and we could not recommend Ryan more for your design needs.
