Tim Schulze

My Name: Tim Schulze AIA, NCARB

What I do:

Sound somewhat crazy....but I wish someone would let me know what I do as well!. I am still a hands-on architect. I still love being involved in all my projects .I will honestly do whatever is needed to succeed. I enjoy solving complex land planning and entitlement issues as well as putting together buildings/project on aggressive time frames.

I am a founding partner in PCA; our firm came out of the early 1990’s recession and hit the ground running. We have never stopped having fun. In this economic environment, I see all kinds of opportunities to grow. I am forward looking and always looking for solutions.

Company Name: Pacific Cornerstone Architects, Inc.

· Architectural Design

Since our founding in 1994, PCA has provided architectural services to clients throughout Southern California who have experienced

First hand our principal-level involvement in action—a commitment that goes beyond the attention that most design firms pay to this essential element.

All three of our PCA Principals—Sean Tracy, AIA; Tim Schulze, AIA, NCARB; and Kevin Perry, AIA—pride themselves in a common management philosophy that is far from common— “Leading by Doing,

Rather than Directing.” Rest assured we will remain in the picture, from conceptual design through construction and move-in, to provide attention to detail.

We are committed to designing facilities that stand the test of time with respect to economy, functionality, aesthetics and value in a competitive marketplace. We understand the importance of cost

Saving and flexible techniques.

Designing for Easy Maintenance & Sustainability

Elemental to the success of Pacific Cornerstone Architects is an approach to design that balances technology with quality, functionality and cost effectiveness. When PCA begins the design

process we consider the ultimate end-user as well as potential modifications that can be spurred by such unknowns as possible

expansion and technological advances. Our goal is to create buildings in partnership with our clients that are flexible enough to serve their next generation of needs.

Our attention to specific program requirements helps us to look toward the future and provide opportunities to accommodate an ever-changing

marketplace. The ultimate result is a building that reflects the image and character of our client that stands the test of time. PCA

continually explores alternate concepts and challenges our consultants to come up with innovative solutions that meet the flexible needs of our

clients over time. We have an understanding of high-performance durable materials that only comes with experience on numerous

applications in office and high-tech environments. PCA comes to the table prepared with materials options and performance costs that

promotes an open dialogue and assists clients in making confident and informed decisions.

Adapting to a Changing Environment

At the forefront of PCA’s philosophy is an uncompromising approach to sustainable design principles. As an active member of the US Building

Green Council (USBGC), our vision is to see technology integrated with regional and sustainable materials to reduce negative impacts on the

environment and the health of the occupants, without compromising the bottom line. High-performance green buildings have been proven

to yield significant savings in energy, water and maintenance costs, as well as boost employee productivity and improve employee health

and retention. PCA is committed to sustainable design and construction practices and to assisting clients in establishing the right green building
