CurrentBeth Holden is largely influenced by a continuation of modernist ideals and practices in her work. Holding a Bachelors of Architecture from SCI-Arc and a Masters in Architecture and Urban Design from UCLA, one of her first tasks as a young architect was to assist with the design of the Rive Gauche development for the French public housing authorities. Upon her return to the United States, she worked as an associate with Barton Myers where she oversaw and completed a number of commercial projects before she launched her own architectural firm, NEW THEME Inc. As a certified green builder as well as a licensed California State Contractor, she is uniquely able to apply a design-build approach to each of her projects that integrates all work stages from conception to completion. Her fluency in both architectural forms and construction techniques gives her the ability to tailor her work for a wide variety of clients, and allows her to express space both within its habitable dimensions as well as its tactile forms.
