Letter Four has been creating dream homes in Los Angeles for 15 design-build-filled years. We’ve seen and heard it all and want to share our expert knowledge and experience with you!
Join our cofounders and principals, Lauren Adams and Jeremy Baker, at our Mar Vista office for coffee, pastries, and candid conversation about what it really takes to bring a custom home to life in this town.
Principal Architect + Co-Owner
As the daughter of a carpenter and an artist, creating beautiful homes is an innate calling for Lauren. She grew up helping her parents do hands-on remodeling work in their family homes as a child, which solidified her desire to become an architect. After college and a year working in Boston, Lauren drove across the country to join the LA architecture scene in 2002. This early start has given her more than 20 years of hands-on experience designing luxurious residences in the greater LA area. Lauren earned her Bachelor of Architecture at Cornell University, becoming a licensed architect at the mere age of twenty-six. She knew that she wanted her own firm, a place where she could pursue meaningful projects and provide a dedicated, personalized design experience that’s not achievable in a large corporate office. This led her to found Letter Four with Jeremy, where she leads our architectural design team. Lauren strives for close collaboration with clients who want to push the boundaries of design, helping them explore new possibilities and find imaginative yet practical solutions for homes that are truly unique. With her at the helm, there’s nothing out of reach for our creative, big-dreaming clients.

Jeremy has been immersed in construction and design for as long as he can remember. Born in New York, he grew up in his master carpenter grandfather’s woodshop, absorbing the art of custom craftsmanship and the value of hard work. When he wasn’t at his grandfather’s side, he was helping his parents restore historic brownstone homes in Allentown, Pennsylvania. This hands-on childhood shaped his deep appreciation for how people interact with the built environment and led him on a journey from small town New England to Philadelphia and New York City. As he honed his skills and developed his own approach, he ventured west and founded Baker Creative. In Los Angeles, Jeremy leveraged his construction knowledge, design sensibilities, and project management skills to create spaces that were both functional and inspiring. But he still felt there was something missing—a true turnkey design-build service. Homeowners and business owners had to juggle architects, interior designers, contractors, and engineers, leading to frustrating delays, budget overruns, and fragmented outcomes. So, Letter Four was born. Merging his 25+ years of residential and commercial experience with Lauren’s extensive expertise, Letter Four seamlessly joined the worlds of architecture and construction to ensure that every project is not just beautifully designed, but built. And not just built, but built exceptionally well.
