ARPA Design + Build Company Inc was founded by Armen Khalafyan in 2005 as a full service building company. Armen’s interest in architecture began at the age of 12 whilst witnessing the devastating earthquake in Armenia which displaced so many families and created a desperate need for mass housing. After completing his studies at the University of Southern California School of Architecture with a focus on prefabricated mass housing, Armen started ARPA Design + Build Company with a vision of providing not only quality architectural and interior design, but also making the transitional process from the design to the construction phase a seamless, smooth and a professional one. He succeeded in his efforts as witnessed by the extensive company portfolio which encompasses over 100 structures, ranging from spec homes, single family dwellings, rehabilitation of multi-residential dwellings as well as retail and industrial projects. The construction experience is in residential dwellings, commercial tenant improvements, industrial building tenant improvements, multi family ground-up construction, and commercial façade improvements, while the design experience is in complete residential remodels, additions and brand new dwellings, commercial office space design, restaurant design, multi-family and mixed use buildings. A strength of ARPA Design + Build Company, Inc. is one of its team members- Toshio Kato. Mr. Kato brings his vast experience in construction to enhance the creative capital of the group. His previous positions include his involvement in the Sumitomo Construction Company team in charge of building the Transamerica Pyramid Building in San Francisco, which launched the Japanese company into construction projects in the United States. Due to the success of the Transamerica Building, Mr. Kato was appointed the first president of Sumitomo Construction America Inc.

He was later selected to establish Sumitomo Construction Kenya, which built projects such as Jomo Kenyatta College of Agriculture and Engineering in Nairobi, and Mombasa Bridge (a $150 million project), as well as several other elementary schools and other local community developments. Mr. Kato was awarded many honors and awards from President Moi, Ministers from both Kenya and Japan, Japanese Ambassadors and the Japanese Emperor Hirohito. In 1982, Mr. Kato returned to Los Angeles, to resume his role as President of Sumitomo Construction America. For the next 10 years he designed and built several properties, including Fountain Valley Hospital, Beverly Hills Medical Plaza, a number of Sheraton Hotels, a 22-story Long Beach condominium structure, a 400 room LAX apartment building, and various other projects. In 1990, he left Sumitomo to start his own business working with Mr. Minoru Mori, one of Japan’s most prominent developers, constructing Forum Shops Tokyo, a billion dollar replica of Forum Shops Las Vegas. Mr. Kato is currently involved in several innovative projects, including a five star resort hotel in the Philippines, a Tokyo aquarium with club and hotel, as well as local projects in Southern California. ARPA, having its own licensed architect, contractor and construction expert with years of experience, is in a unique position to provide services from schematic design to turnkey operation to both homeowners and developers throughout Southern California. The ethos of the company is emphasis on detail, quality design and construction to maximize the complete living experience.
