Ms. Wallace’s extensive experience in high-end custom residential architecture started at Island Architects in La Jolla . Island was impressed with Ms. Wallace’s creative talent & asked her to relocate to California from Virginia , where she had recently graduated. In her first year at the firm, she was responsible for the design development of a 20,000 sq. ft. home in La Jolla Farms. This project is currently under construction and is located directly across from the largest home in California . She was then utilized in every aspect of the design process from schematic drawings to construction documents in her next series of projects. These projects included two estates in Rancho Santa Fe, a complete remodel of an existing home, an addition of a master suite & three other projects in La Jolla . She was the designated model-maker for all projects, rendered plans and elevations for meetings, and created standards within the office. For her last project with Island Architects, she completed the full set of drawings for a 7,500 sq. ft. La Jolla home including detailed drawings for cabinetry, fireplaces, stonework, and ironwork.
