Quatro Design Group is now QDG Architecture! by QDG

The firm was originally established June 1996 under the name of Quatro Design Group, by founding partners, Javier M. Molina, Ricardo Rodriguez and David S. Stokes as a California General Partnership. Kevin Tyrrell joined the firm in 2004 and became an associate partner in 2009.  As the firm grew, the partners strategically added and mentored new team members who share the vision of the architectural profession as an expression of community values. Through the years we have taken pride in maintaining a tight-knit team of highly talented staff. As part of a natural transition to broaden our legacy, QDG Incorporated, dba QDG Architecture, was formed in 2014 to solidify our standing as a company and lay the groundwork for continued success well into the future. In addition to the core individuals of the partnership, ownership was expanded to dedicated, long-term employees: Juan Ortiz and Viqui Aguilar.
