Joseph Fournier

Joseph Fournier Design is a local architecture firm located in the South Bay specializing in traditional residential architecture. Our primary objective is to intently listen to our clients’ needs, wants, and dreams so that we can effectively translate them into a true custom design. We strive to produce a product that is not only aesthetically pleasing and timeless, but also functional for our clients as they navigate their daily lives. We are fluent in various styles of architecture, including Cape Cod, Craftsman, Spanish, Tudor, Tuscan, French, & Colonial, and can adapt such styles to provide a more modern twist.


Each project comes with its own unique set of complex circumstances and, as such, requires a cohesive team to help our client navigate through challenges as they arise. Our goal is to acquire and coordinate a strong team of design professionals that often includes an interior designer, civil and structural engineers, energy consultant, landscape architect, and contractor. From inception to completion, we strive to communicate clearly and efficiently with the design team to ensure we meet our client’s expectations.


Joseph Fournier, principal architect, received his Bachelor’s of Architecture from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. With an interest in renewable energy, Joseph minored in Sustainable Environments allowing him to provide clients with sustainable concepts that serve to elevate his project designs. Following graduation, Joseph secured a position at a boutique architecture firm located in Redondo Beach where he trained for ten years under a prominent architect. During this time, he honed his design skills and learned to navigate the entitlement process with various cities throughout Southern California, which then allowed him to establish his own firm, Joseph Fournier Design. With over 300 homes completed throughout the state, Joseph continues to embrace his university’s motto of “learn by doing” by immersing himself in all disciplines of design.
