In 2005, Herta Gaus and Xavier Adrian founded Adrian•Gaus Architects, Inc., after having lead major projects at large, well-known architecture firms. They joined four other design firms in Redlands and formed the Architect Collaborative AC-6. The group of twelve architects and design professionals share office space, resources and staff to collaborate by forming project-based partnerships. They comprise an exceptionally well qualified team of professionals with many years of experience in virtually every aspect of architecture, including, governmental, educational, commercial, hospitality, medical, multi- and single-family residential. The unique organizational structure gives clients the resources of a large firm with the attention a small firm offers. Since its conception theyoung firm has seen phenomenal success, having designed and completed over forty projects, about half public, the other half private. Much of the work was received through word-of-mouth or repeat clients. Besides competence and innovation, what clients have valued most about the firm is their commitment to being responsive to the Owner’s needs.
