One thing that Todd Riley has often heard over the years is people comparing architecture to music. And Riley, an architect and partner with Los Angelesbased Landry Design Group, gets it. “I love the feeling that different types of music can convey,” he says. “A really great house has a feeling to it. There’s something special.” Since late 2022, Riley has been on a team of architects designing someone’s dream house on a currently-vacant lot just off the green of the 12th hole at Pebble Beach Golf Links. And even though no ground has yet been broken, the design has already received high praise—in June, at the Pacific Coast Builder’s Conference, the team’s design for the house was awarded a Golden Nugget, the oldest and arguably most prestigious award in American architecture. 14 The Best of Monterey Bay ® Haven 2024-2025 Designing A Dream A high-end architectural firm won top honors for its design of a Pebble Beach home.
