Philosophy Formed in 2007 by LJ Porter and Maria Elena Fanna, PorterFanna Architecture is committed to excellence in design and responsibility in execution. Through the combination of form, color, texture and innovation we strive to make spaces and buildings that are both unique in design and pleasing to inhabit. As we work, we bring out the hidden beauty of a project while eliminating the superfolous to create the most beautiful, economical and sustainable solution possible. Moreover, the utility of any project is paramount and must function to address the client's needs and desires. To that end, the client becomes an integral part of the team and through our guidance, experience and knowhow is stewarded through the design and construction process.
