Hunter Fleetwood and Paz Fernandez are the architects behind Fleetwood Fernandez Architects, a creative studio based in downtown Los Angeles. Since 2008, the husband and wife team have been working on residential, corporate, and commercial projects, all of which are designed to hit on an emotional level with those that use or live in them.
