Coastal Custom Residential Architects Network (C-CRAN)

Coastal CRAN Custom Residential Architects Network

What is CRAN?

The Custom Residential Architects Network(CRAN®) Knowledge Community develops knowledge and information to benefit architects who are engaged in, or who are interested in learning more about, custom residential practice. CRAN® presents information and facilitates the exchange of knowledge and expertise to promote the professional development of its members via discussion forums, national symposia and conventions, publications, and local activities.

Coastal CRAN is focused on the unique aspects of our Southern California coastal cities.

Why CRAN?

  • A network for residential architects who want to help each other.
  • Not every project is suitable for every architect & not every architect is suitable for every project.
  • We can all work together by sharing resources and experiences to better the built environment in our coastal cities and the architecture profession.
