Having designed over 1,000 homes and residential based projects, Candelaria Design Associates has established itself as one of the premier luxury architectural firms in the nation. CEOs, celebrities, famed athletes and even HGTV in 2017 have turned to Candelaria Design Associates for their expertise in designing dream homes.

Candelaria Design has grown from a one person firm to a dedicated staff of 20 with residential projects across the United States even stretching into Jamaica, Canada and Mexico. Mark is joined in leadership by fellow principal architect Meredith Thomson (AIA), partners Tim Matthewson and Evelyn Jung. The architectural firm has received a plethora of accolades including but not limited to Master of the Southwest, named number one architecture firm by Ranking Arizona multiple years, Gold Nugget Home of the Year 2011 by the Pacific Builders Council and Masonry Council Awards.
Candelaria Design is known for their diversity in style and high involvement in the design process, ensuring all design projects are elevated to meet a client’s preferred lifestyle. A few Arizona projects stand out to Mark Candelaria as his favorites: the Boynton Canyon-based Enchantment Resort in Sedona and the 1930s landmark-turned-restaurant and event venue El Chorro Lodge in Paradise Valley. These uniquely positioned projects speak to Candelaria Design’s values of commitment, quality design and building strong personal relationships with clients along the way.
Beyond residential and architectural design, Candelaria Design offers a variety of travel and culinary experiences for clients to enjoy with the firm. There are three tours hosted each year: one in Italy, Spain and a traditional domestic tour which this year will be Oregon Wine Country.
