Grist Associates
A diversified Architecture, Planning, and Design firm serving a variety of clients.

The office, presently located in Pasadena, was established originally as John K. Grist / Architect. The firm was reorganized in 1981 as Grist Associates.

John K. Grist, Architect, is a cum laude graduate of the University of Southern California, a National Council of Architecture Registration Board ( NCARB ) Certificate holder, and past president of the Pasadena-Foothill Chapter, American Institute of Architects ( AIA ).

An experienced staff has had years of experience in providing service to a wide range of clients, on a variety of project types, in many of the southland's communities.

Design Approach
It is our normal practice to design each project to fit the client’s preference. Consideration is also given to the requirements of the site, and if applicable, the restrictions of the local Design Review Board.

In the case of an alteration, or addition, to an existing structure, the main goal is to incorporate existing design, details, and materials so the resulting design is such that the new work is a cohesive unit.

The common element in each project is not one particular style, but rather a specific sense of proportion, spatial relationships, and organization.
