March - Design Dialogue
Urban Design, and more specifically infill design, has become one of the most desired types of development in the central city and surrounding residential neighborhoods. With continued concerns about the city’s design review process, lack of neighborhood support and a host of other issues, architects often find it challenging to fully expressing themselves through their architecture.
After living and practicing architecture in Sacramento for several years, David Sarti of Flex Architecture will reframe this discussion, focusing on his “Little Red House” and discussing the opportunities created by building small, asking the question:
“Why is Sacramento so slow to embrace modern Architecture?”
David’s affordable-modern approach to design has landed his “Little Red House” in countless blogs including Apartment Therapy, Future House Now and Small House Style in addition to the pages of Dwell magazine and Metropolis. By designing small, urban and affordable David sees this as an “Under the Radar” path to a more interesting Sacramento.

This dialog series has been really great. The interaction between the public and professionals is low key but intense (can then be both?) maybe polite and intense in better. This topic should be very relevent and the speaker very good. Miss this one and you will be sorry. See you there
It was a great discussion, thanks to everyone who came out and participated in this dialogue. If you missed out, not to worry, we will be posting the video from last nights discussion to this site very soon and check back daily for new content!
Great website – Thanks again for the opportunity and I look forward to many more great discussions in the future
