Our Values: Quality ✨

At studio 2G Architects, quality is built into every detail.

We promote design excellence through thoughtful solutions, thorough drawings, and careful coordination at every stage of a project. From the big-picture vision to the smallest detail, we take the time to think through how our designs will work, perform, and come together.

Because attention to detail today leads to better outcomes tomorrow.

We are thoughtful, thorough, detail-oriented, and committed to design excellence.

We are excited to welcome ✨Marcello D'Alfonso✨ to the team as a Landscape and Architectural Associate!

Marcello is a Central Coast native, born and raised in Templeton, California. He earned his Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in 2024.

Marcello’s interest in landscape architecture began at an early age. While working for his father’s construction company👷‍♂️ in high school, he developed an appreciation for the design process and was inspired by seeing ideas move from drawings and plans to built spaces. That experience helped shape his decision to pursue a career where creativity, design, and construction come together.

Looking ahead, Marcello hopes to become a licensed Landscape Architect and continue growing as a designer and leader. His long-term goal is to either own his own landscape architecture firm, or run a landscape architecture department within a multidisciplinary practice, helping build and shape a strong landscape architecture team. ⭐️

Outside of the office, Marcello enjoys staying active and spending as much time outdoors as possible 🌿. Whether he’s at the gym, hiking around the Central Coast, relaxing at the beach, or spending time with his Australian Shepherd 🐶, he’s happiest when he can get outside. His ideal day starts with a workout and a trip to the dog park, followed by plenty of time to relax and enjoy everything the Central Coast has to offer.

Join us in welcoming Marcello!

Thanks, UCSC!

Heidi and Ashley recently attended the Design + Construction Industry Outreach Event at the renovated Cowell Historic Hay Barn. It was a great opportunity to connect with the UCSC team and fellow design and construction professionals while learning more about what’s ahead for the campus.

We’re excited about future opportunities to collaborate with the university and contribute to projects that support the UCSC community. Thanks to everyone who made the event possible!

Our Values: Customer Service

At studio 2G Architects, great customer service is about more than delivering great design. It’s about being a trusted partner throughout the process.

We manage expectations through clear communication, timely responses, and efficient follow-through. And we lead with humility by listening first, staying flexible, and keeping our clients’ goals at the center of every decision.

Because strong projects are built on strong relationships.

Responsive. Efficient. Humble. Client-focused.

Summer on the Central Coast just hits different.

Good wine, great company, and a chance to enjoy the place we’re lucky enough to call home. Cheers from our architect partners to long summer evenings, local favorites, and the beauty of the Central Coast.

Hot summer days deserve even better summer evenings. 😎 We love creating outdoor spaces that feel like a natural extension of the home—made for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying every sunset.

✨ Mission & Values Series ✨

At studio 2G, architecture is about more than designing buildings. It's about creating spaces that serve people, strengthen communities, and make a lasting impact.

The work we do is guided by a set of core values that shape every project, every conversation, and every decision. They influence how we collaborate with clients, work alongside partners, and approach the design process from start to finish.

Over the next few weeks, we'll share the values that define who we are as a firm and why they matter to us. Each post will offer a closer look at one of the principles that guides our work and the role it plays in creating meaningful, successful projects.

Our mission and values are not just words on a page. They're the foundation of our practice and the reason we do what we do.

We look forward to sharing this journey with you.

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸 ⭐️🌭

We hope everyone has a great, safe day and enjoys their long weekend! 🎆
