PROFILE
SHANER & CO. is a design practice founded by Evan Shaner in Los Angeles, California, working across the private and public sectors, with a diverse portfolio that includes cultural, residential, retail, and civic projects.
In collaboration with clients, the practice reconciles ambition with social and physical context to design buildings, spaces, and objects that are characterized by simplicity, beauty, and the atmosphere of place.
TRANSPARENCY
Clients are viewed as true collaborators—partners with whom a shared vision is developed and realized. The practice holds that the best outcomes emerge from a genuine exchange of ideas.
Throughout the entirety of the design and building process, SHANER & CO. exercises transparency of design decisions and intent, and establishes clear lines of communication with respectful access to one another.
