Hubbell & Hubbell focuses on building with profound respect for our planet, specializing in straw bale homes and other green building techniques such as green roofs, natural plasters, adobe, rainwater harvesting. Since creating the firm in 1995 with my father, James Hubbell, a world-renowned artist deeply embedded in San Diego’s culture, we have built an established reputation for personally serving our clients and professionally applying our expertise to a wide spectrum of projects—from residential home design and remodeling to public facilities such as churches, zoos, parks, nature centers, and tribal centers. Our first duty as architects is to create spaces that celebrate the excitement and mystery of our world in ways respectful of nature’s laws, as well as in ways that connect people to nature’s nourishing beauty.
