Beausoleil is French for 'beautiful sun', the ultimate source of energy that sustains life on our planet. We partner with our clients to create unique spaces that are beautiful, healthy, energy efficient and sustainable; spaces that function very well from the onset, but with flexibility to consider potential future needs. We listen to our clients and strive to meet their goals, including their budgets.
Beausoleil Architects was founded in 1992 by our two principals, Robert and Christine Boles, a husband and wife team. Bob began his professional career working on the first all solar heated subdivision in the United States, Village Homes, in Davis, California. This project remains inspirational as the design was not just about energy efficiency, but about building community and connections to nature, a real place to live lives and raise children.
Our experience working on commercial projects has taught us that "God is in the details", as stated by the preeminent modern architect Mies van der Rohe.

As science has made abundantly clear, our society, our economy, our housing and transportation desperately need to be transitioned from fossil fuels to solar and other sustainable sources of energy.
Climate change is real and only concerted, sustained effort to reduce our release of greenhouse gases will help moderate it.
Housing uses about 20% of America's energy output.
California is leading the way in reducing this energy demand with Title 24 statewide mandated energy codes.

I have worked with Bob and Christine on two very different projects.
The first was a tear down and new build.
After listening to my wants and needs, they provided 5 floor plans; we ended up combining two for a 6th floor plan.
They then advised through to completion.
Bob explored unique finish treatments; he was very creative through the whole process.
The second project was a complete interior renovation of a 100+ yr.
I have worked on a half dozen projects with them over the years, and they have always come through for us with creative ideas and solutions.
