Appleton Partners LLP was established by Marc Appleton in 1976, and has offices in Santa Monica and

Whether contemporary or traditional in style, urban or rural, we strive in our architecture for a real diversity, an appreciation of place, and a responsiveness to each client’s particular needs and wishes. We reject the idea that a successful design practice needs to be “branded” or have a signature style, or that architecture always has to shout, and we thank our clients for their willingness to

entrust their dreams not to the fashions of the moment, but to a more modest enterprise of quiet but attentive craft.

Marking the program’s 10th anniversary celebrating excellence in traditional design, we are honored to receive the 2026 Institute of Classical Architecture & Art Julia Morgan Award.

Set within a coastal landscape, the chapel and surrounding buildings draw on simple forms, local materials, and careful proportions, creating a composition that is both grounded and enduring.

The awards will be presented on June 5th at the Green Room in San Francisco.
