Kalli and Joe share a passion for creating intimate and unique spaces which complement the lifestyle and the vibe of their clientele. Their expertise comes not only from formal education but from their own lives which have required them to develop an ability to think outside the box to design beautiful spaces that are also highly intuitive and functional. They are able to find effective and creative solutions to the most challenging and limiting use of spaces. Although they welcome the design freedom of an unlimited budget, they know how to stay on course without compromising sophistication or originality.

Craftsmanship. Originality in detail. Imaginative form. Structural know how. Planning, execution and management beginning to end. Comprehensive mastery of trade. Quality control. Precision. Passion.

Inspired by his father's craftsmanship and attention to detail, Joe Rivers Altieri has spent his lifetime defining his skills as an artist and carpenter. He learned early that a simple thought and the execution of one's ideas can only be achieved through hard work and good planning. A University of California Santa Barbara graduate, Joe began laboring and building his way towards honing his craft, fortunate to have worked with the best design and development teams in San Francisco and Los Angeles along the way.

Working for Mike Breen in San Francisco, elegant and period restoration of the city's most beautiful homes became the hallmark of Joe's finish carpentry abilities. In Los Angeles, he joined forces with cinema and television's leading directors and production designers, building fantasy worlds and spaces for national commercials and music videos. Returning to residential home building in the mid 1990's, Behr Development offered Joe the opportunity to expand his knowledge of the trades, and increase his responsibilities managing high profile, multimillion-dollar projects. Like his wife, building their personal residences and raising their two children has been the couples' most celebrated achievement. Their residential projects have been publicly applauded on the Venice Garden Tour and have been featured multiple times in Sunset magazine. Simultaneously, Joe continues creating sculpture and music in the endless quest for art.
