Somaya Etemad is an Iranian-American architect, licensed luxury pool contractor, and visual artist whose multidisciplinary practice merges architecture, construction, and fine art into a unified design approach. Trained at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), she brings engineering precision, spatial rigor, and a refined artistic sensibility to projects of all scales.

Her work is rooted in the belief that design disciplines are not separate, but deeply interconnected. Somaya brings narrative thinking and artistic intuition into her architectural and pool projects, while applying architectural clarity, three-dimensional understanding, and constructability to her artwork. She operates as lead designer and assembles project-specific teams, delivering fine homes, ADUs, low-rise and commercial buildings, as well as fully integrated custom pool designs—from concept and permitting through construction.

Parallel to her built work, Somaya maintains an active fine art practice, exhibiting nationally and internationally, including at the Japan Contemporary Museum of Art. Her art serves as an ongoing exploration of identity, emotion, and the human experience—expressing what cannot be resolved through words or construction alone. She lives and works in Los Angeles, continuing to explore the intersection of structure, emotion, and beauty across disciplines..
