Rees Studio is a full-service architecture firm specializing in high-end single family residential projects.  Established in 2003, Rees Studio tailors its services to its clients’ specific needs and produces designs that are not only modern and elegant but also timeless and functional.  Each of Rees Studio's projects emphasize a broad vision for the overall design and attention to each detail and finish.

Prior to establishing his own firm, Bobby Rees spent five years as a Project Designer at HOK, one of the country’s largest architecture firms, and five years as a Project Manager and Associate at Marmol Radziner, a world-renowned design-build firm. Bobby is a licensed architect and a LEED Accredited Professional. He received his Master of Architecture degree from UCLA, where he won the AIA Scholarship, the Frank O. Gehry Fellowship and the Dean’s Award for Overall Excellence.  

Bobby finds satisfaction in both the artistic and technical sides of architecture and takes pleasure in being part of a collaborative process in which meaningful human interaction can produce designs that are at once beautiful, functional and economical. 

Bobby has extensive experience in the field of sustainable design. His expertise goes beyond basic methods of green building--such as material selection and energy efficiency--and includes a comprehensive approach to building design in which the aesthetics are a direct response to the physical context and environmental conditions of the site.

Raised in Europe, Bernard Holzberg was exposed to the continent’s architectural riches by his parents, who nurtured his life-long love of architecture and design.

Prior to settling in Southern California in 2013, Bernard lived in Canada, the U.S. Northwest and completed projects in Florida and Illinois. His diverse experience in land development, construction, and interior design has helped him approach Architecture and individual projects in a broader context. While his primary interest is in single-family residential work, he has also been involved in such project types as hospitality, mixed-use, commercial, health care, industrial, and multi-family.

In his work, Bernard places an emphasis on human scale, design continuity and in allowing individual materials to express themselves in an overall design.

Bernard's other interests include the intersection of aesthetics, ergonomics and engineering as well as furniture and transportation design. He also loves dogs, art, nature, gardening and small esoteric vintage cars and motorcycles.

Bernard occasionally writes about himself in the third person.
