About Speedboat SPEEDBOAT is a Hollywood-based atelier established in 2019.

Bootstrapped from the start, we maintain architecture, design, and construction divisions, managing residential, commercial, and cultural projects in Los Angeles and beyond. We combine the best of a boutique firm and a corporate company—recognized by our peers as one of the most organized and structured studios in our class.
