Hamida Architects designs primary residences and generational estates for founders, principals, and heads of family along the California coast - from Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Malibu, Newport Beach, Rolling Hills to Palo Alto, Atherton & Sunnyvale. Construction budgets typically begin at $2M. Every project is led personally by Nidal Hamida from the first site walk through the final punch list. Not a project manager. Not an associate. The principal.
We take on a deliberately small number of projects each year so that the time, attention, and design rigor each family deserves is never compromised by the next engagement.
The firm gently guides discerning clients through a thoughtful, personalized design journey, blending custom architecture, interior design, and landscape into homes that breathe with light, nature, and purpose.
For those who value exceptional craftsmanship and a home that truly reflects who they are, Hamida Architects transforms vision into reality - creating bespoke living experiences that are as unique as the people who inhabit them.
We create generational estates for HNW & UHNW families without compromising on craft, vision, or timeline.
That standard is enforced by three commitments:
A documented Discovery Phase before any drawings are produced,
A single one-hour principal meeting per week, and
The principal architect personally present from CDs through final punch list.

Cai Leung, a junior architect focused on spatial design and future sustainability, combines a lifelong background in art with a strong interest in STEM. From an early age, Cai spends hours collecting odd writing utensils - a creative foundation that sparked their pursuit of architecture.
