Inspired by the January 2025 LA wildfires we created THE IMPRINT COLLECTIVE which reimagines rebuilding through shared design and community collaboration. With Studios in Northern and Southern California, Asquared Studios is a service oriented Architectural Design Studio focusing on winery and hospitality related projects as well as custom single family residential projects.
Some places never leave you.
Our founding partner Jessie Whitesides, grew up in Park City | hiking the trails, learning the rhythm of mountain winters, watching her parents build an innovative home in the 70’s that took advantage of passive solar design. That experience and the place is embedded in who she is.
At A•SQUARED, we believe great architecture starts long before our pencil touches paper. It starts with understanding where you are, the topography, the light, the way a hillside asks something of a building before the building asks anything of it. It starts with knowing the people who love that place | their routines, their stories, the life they're trying to build. And it starts with respecting the climate that defines it | the snow loads, the cold mornings, the long golden hours of a mountain afternoon.
Place. People. Climate. When those three things inform every decision, architecture stops acting as structure and starts living your story.
Your story. Your design. Your place.

We love designing the spaces that hold the in‑between moments—five minutes with a book, a quick homework check‑in, a pause between rooms. Those are the pieces that make a custom home feel like it really fits the way you live.

The front of a home does two jobs at once | it welcomes you in and it meets the street | by designing the arrival as a calm, generous threshold, we can make daily life inside easier and gently soften how the home meets the neighborhood outside

One strong connection, living room - to deck - to yard, can make a home feel twice its size.

On paper, two homes can look similar: same lot, same zoning, same square footage. In reality, a thoughtfully designed custom home feels very different to live in—and it adds something to the block instead of just filling a parcel. That gap is where we do our best work.

You might live a mile apart, but your rebuild paths do not have to be separate.
Community-powered rebuilding

After the fires, so many homeowners told us the same thing. It wasn't the loss that stopped them. It was not knowing where to begin.
Too many voices. Too many numbers. Too much uncertainty.
The Imprint Collective was built for exactly that moment. A small thread of neighbors, a clear five step process, and an architect guiding you from day one.
Swipe through this post and see what moving from confusion to clarity can look like.
