Create a Full Size Origami

From the initial concept to the final build, everything felt cohesive and well thought out. The house truly reflects how we live.


Michael Reynolds, Homeowner

The Crane

 In origami tradition, the crane symbolizes longevity, prosperity, and intention in every fold. It represents a form shaped with precision and purpose.


The Crane reflects our approach to ground-up new construction — a home thoughtfully designed and built from a blank site, with every decision aligned from the start. Through our integrated Design + Build process, architecture, budgeting, engineering, and construction work together under one coordinated team, ensuring your vision is both beautiful and fully buildable.

The Expanding Fan

In origami, the fan unfolds outward from a single anchored point — expanding gracefully while remaining connected to its base. It symbolizes growth, balance, and thoughtful extension.


The Expanding Fan reflects our approach to residential additions: Increasing space without compromising structural integrity or architectural harmony. Through our integrated Design + Build process, we carefully align new construction with the existing home — from foundation tie-ins and rooflines to mechanical systems and interior flow.

The Phoenix Fold

The phoenix symbolizes renewal and rebirth. In origami, transformation comes not from adding more paper, but from reshaping what already exists.


The Phoenix Fold reflects our approach to rebuilding within an existing footprint — removing what no longer serves while honoring the site’s established foundation. The result is a residence renewed with clarity and purpose — modernized, efficient, and built for the future.

The Reformed Plane

 A single fold can completely redefine a plane. The Reformed Plane represents total transformation. This service involves full demolition and reconstruction with a redesigned footprint, allowing for optimized layout, improved flow, and better site orientation. The outcome is a home fully reimagined — intentional in form and performance.

Our addition blends seamlessly with the existing structure—it feels like it was always part of the home.

Finishes that compliment your lifestyle

Kami Package

Kami is the Japanese word for "paper." Commonly used by those entering the origami world due to it's effortless ability to fold and ease of acquiring, the Kami Package sets the baseline carefully balancing affordability, space utilization, and aesthetically pleasing design.  

Chiyogami (Yuzen) Package

A high-quality origami paper, Chiogami (Yuzen) papers are handmade using various plant fibers that produce a solid and durable paper. The Chiogami (Yuzen) Package is a perfect balance of cost effective, durability, and luxury. 

The interior design feels thoughtful and cohesive throughout. Every space flows naturally, and the details bring everything together in a way that feels both refined and comfortable


Isabella Martinez, Homeowner

Washi Package

As the traditional Japanese paper used in origami, Washi translates to "Japanese Paper." Made without glue in the paper and from wood pulp using long plant fibers that give it thin, strong and durable properties, Washi has a very unique and natural feel.  Origami made with Washi paper appear to feel more life-like and in touch with nature, perfectly aligning with those that are more eco-friendly, environmentally conscious, and concerned that materials that do not detract from our health.  

Origamido Package

Origamido, "the way, through paperfolding", Paper is the the top step from Chiyogami. Made from hand-dyed wood pulp, the intricate and time-intensive process of making paper by hand makes it very easily the most expensive paper, mainly used by professional origami master artists for achieving perfection.  The Orgamido Package is best suited for those that look to create the art and beauty of professional origami masters.
