Our Story
Built on Conviction
Regal Arch was founded on a single belief: that the built environment shapes how people think, feel, and live — and that belief demands nothing less than excellence.
How We Began
Regal Arch was established by Ben Regalado after 30 years of working for some of the most prestigious and demanding architectural firms in Southern California. Bassenian Lagoni; single and multi-family residential design. Langdon Wilson; commercial, aquatics, students sports and recreation and new school campus. Ghataode Bannon and PJHM; K12 schools additions and modernization. Ben is ready to embark on his own and carry out his passion for great architecture.
We are set to build a practice based on the overall context of a built environment. Every engagement begins with a deep understanding of the client's world — their ambitions, their sense of beauty. From that foundation, we design.
Today, Regal Arch is ready for the challenge, ensuring that every project receives the full weight of our attention and craft.
What We Stand For
Our Values
Precision
We believe every detail matters. Not because perfection is achievable, but because the pursuit of it produces work that endures.
Restraint
Great design is as much about what you leave out as what you put in. We resist the impulse to add and instead ask what is truly necessary.
Integrity
We say what we mean and build what we say. Our clients trust us because we have never given them reason not to.
Longevity
We do not design for trends. We design for the decades — structures and spaces that age with grace and grow more meaningful over time.
