Mark Besquin Founder + Principal USC, BArch Licensed Architect + Contractor

“I think architecture becomes interesting when it has a double character, that is, when it is as simple as possible but, at the same time as complex as possible”
- Tadao Ando

At Besquin Group, we have nearly a decade of extensive experience in high-end custom residential design and construction. Our work is grounded in a philosophy that celebrates the union of craft and architecture, where design is not only an aesthetic pursuit but a careful, hands-on process that values precision and mastery in every detail.

As an architect and contractor, we embrace the role of the "master builder"—designing with the intent to build, and recognizing the delicate balance between form, function, and costs. Too often, the process of translating design into a physical space is overlooked or taken for granted.

Our philosophy is deeply influenced by my time spent studying abroad, particularly in Japan, where the culture’s dedication to meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail is unparalleled. This influence informs every project we take on, ensuring that every home we create is a true reflection of quality and precision, where every detail is integral to the entire design.

What truly drives us is the opportunity to build meaningful and lasting relationships with our clients. Designing a home is a deeply personal journey, and there is nothing more rewarding than seeing our clients' dream homes come to life. At Besquin Group, we are not just architects and builders—we are partners in turning your vision into reality.
