The story
Pugh + Scarpa was formed in Santa Monica in 1991 by architects Lawrence Scarpa FAIA and Gwynne Pugh AIA. In 1999, Scarpa's wife, Angela Brooks FAIA, became the third principal. The company grew to include 43 professionals by 2004, with offices in Los Angeles, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and Charlotte, North Carolina.
In 2010, Pugh left the firm to pursue his own design interests and the name was changed to Brooks + Scarpa to reflect the current leadership under Angela Brooks and Lawrence Scarpa.
Brooks co-founded and served as President of Livable Places, a nonprofit development company created to stimulate neighborhood revitalization in Los Angeles.
In 2015, Jeffrey Huber, FAIA joined the firm as principal and Director of Planning, Urban Design and Landscape. Huber manages the Ft. Lauderdale office.
In 2025, the firm changed its name to Brooks Scarpa Huber to reflect its current leadership.
