About Kurt.
Los Angeles, CA
Los Angeles, CA
I’m Kurt Larsen — an architectural coordination specialist with over thirty years in luxury construction, closing the gap between design intent and structural reality on the most demanding custom residential projects in Los Angeles.
I specialize in precise, zero-tolerance dimension-control drawings, the resolution of exotic assemblies, and mentoring a new generation of architects to bring construction coordination into their world.
Capabilities
1. Dimension-Control Drawings
Zero-tolerance packages that unify architectural, structural, MEP, civil, and interior design work into a single, highly risk-reduced set.
2. 3D Rhino Modeling
Full construction document sets modeled exactly as drawn — surfacing every indeterminate condition before it ever reaches the field.
3. Exotic Assembly Resolution
Brainstorming and design collaboration to resolve the ambitious, one-off assemblies that nobody sells off the shelf.
4. CPM Scheduling
Just-in-time coordination of evolving designs, kept out in front of construction so long-lead scopes arrive on time and fit perfectly.

Whole-House Shop Drawings
2D AutoCAD Coordination
2000s
Formalized hand-drawn field details into a repeatable, whole-house coordination process — redrafting full sets by hand until every ambiguous condition revealed itself.

Architectural Concrete
Field Superintendent
Late 1980s
Hand-drafted building sections and concrete wall elevations on the back of leftover plans — the only way, in the field, to control architectural concrete precisely enough to build it right.

1988 – 1993
A trained eye for proportion and form, and studio assistantships with noted artists — the same instinct to understand materials by working them by hand that later found its way onto job sites.

FAQs
It’s the discipline of closing the gap between design intent and structural reality — resolving every indeterminate condition across architectural, structural, MEP, civil, and interior scopes before it reaches the field.
Zero-tolerance, dimension-control drawing packages in 2D AutoCAD, backed by forensic 3D Rhino models that resolve every conflict before a single sheet is issued to the construction team.
The most demanding custom luxury residential projects in Los Angeles — including exacting architectural concrete and other exotic, one-off assemblies.
Full construction document sets are modeled exactly as drawn, exposing every indeterminate condition so it can be resolved with the design team through RFIs and submittals before construction begins.
As early as possible. Just-in-time coordination keeps long-lead scopes like structural steel and glazing out in front of construction, so they show up on time and fit together perfectly.
Yes — I pair veteran builder’s-eye insight with highly focused M.Arch graduates, mentoring the next generation of coordination architects in 3D Rhino and 2D AutoCAD.
