Architect Johannes Van Tilburg brings a passion for mixed-use housing to the Downtown. As principal of the local firm Van Tilburg, Banvard and Soderberg, he's designed projects throughout the Bay side including Janss Court on the Promenade.
"I have an aesthetic stake in the progress of the Promenade," said the 10th-generation architect who immigrated to California from Holland more than 40 years ago.
"As a property owner of 225 Arizon Avenue and 1207 4th Street, I have an economic interest in the well-being of the Bayside District," Van Tilburg added.
In addition to working out of his Santa Monica office, Van Tilburg lectures at the nation's top architectural schools and has created maps of ceremonial architecture on Easter Island in collaboration with his archeologist wife Dr. Jo Anne Van Tilburg.
"A successful and vital Downtown is an asset to everyone in Santa Monica - residents, visitors, businesses and property owners alike," he said.
