Josh Larson
Josh is Principal of Larson Shores, which he co-founded with Carrie in 2007. A native of Texas, Josh earned a Bachelor in Environmental Design from Texas A&M. He received a Masters in Architecture from U. C. Berkeley, where he won the Branner Travelling Fellowship which allowed him to explore the world studying a full volume of historic and modern buildings. This travel experience inspired Josh’s ongoing fascination with foreign countries and desire to explore new places. Before founding Larson Shores with Carrie, Josh gained some of his early work training as a project estimator and project manager for Redhorse Constructors, Inc. in San Rafael.
As a licensed architect, Josh has equal skill developing the conceptual side of a project and working with crews on a job site. He understands the collaborative process of bringing a well-designed project to reality. He is known among his clients for being an empathetic listener, merging their vision with his design sensibilities into a project that all parties love.
Carrie Shores
Carrie is Principal of Larson Shores. She received a Masters in Architecture at UC Berkeley, where she met her business partner Josh. She is licensed and has worked extensively in both California and Maine, where at the beginning of her career she was recognized as one of Design New England’s “up and coming architects who will change New England.” Carrie is a gifted floor plan designer and is always thinking up new, creative ways to work with existing and potential space on her client’s properties. She is appreciated by clients for her advocacy on their behalf and the dedication with which she provides excellent service and a personal touch.
Like Josh, Carrie loves to travel and finds inspiration in both the natural landscapes and built environments of the places she visits. Her latest adventure took her to France where she stayed on a barge travelling the canals of the Burgundy region. One of Carrie’s favorite ways to spend a day locally includes a trip to the beach, then returning home for a glass of wine on her recently remodeled patio with her family, both humans and dogs!
