PHX ARCHITECTURE
About us
PHX ARCHITECTURE is an architect firm based in Scottsdale and Los Angeles, specializing in Luxury Residential, Golf Clubhouse, and Hospitality design.
Our design concepts continually evolve, conform, and most importantly – respond to each project’s unique characteristics. Our team defines “Living Architecture” as a space that harmoniously combines site, form, functionality, and the human scale, creating the connective link between the surrounding environment and the client’s goals and vision.
PHX ARCHITECTURE first rose to prominence in Scottsdale under the leadership of founder Erik Peterson, whose 18 years of experience and award‑winning design approach now shape our expanding presence in Los Angeles. Our work is already visible across the city, including contributions to iconic destinations such as The Maybourne Beverly Hills, Casa Del Mar, and Shutters on the Beach. As our Los Angeles studio continues to grow, we are especially energized by the opportunity to bring our signature residential design expertise to the region.
Erik’s career in Scottsdale earned him recognition throughout the West, including the American Institute of Architects Young Gun Award and the Master of the Southwest honor from Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine. He has also been named Best Architect by AZ Foothills Magazine and ranked No. 1 in the Phoenix Business Journal Book of Lists for Architecture Firms. His portfolio spans luxury golf clubhouses, signature resorts, and bespoke restaurants—experience that now informs the elevated residential and hospitality work PHX ARCHITECTURE is bringing to LA.
Today, PHX ARCHITECTURE is making a meaningful impact on LA’s design landscape, just as we did in Scottsdale. We are dedicated to serving both residential and commercial clients, creating architecture that enhances value, elevates experience, and reflects the character of each site. Whether shaping a luxury home or a standout hospitality destination, we are passionate about helping clients realize the full potential of their vision. Our team is ready to begin your Los Angeles project and bring it to life with the highest level of design and service.
