Ultimately choosing the architectural profession over a career in music, Maston designed more than 100 buildings, including private residences, apartment buildings, shopping centers and large-scale institutional projects. Upon graduating from the University of Southern California he worked for the offices of Floyd Rible, A. Quincy Jones, Fred Emmons, Philosophy Daniel, and Allied Architects. After serving in World World War II, Maston returned to Los Angeles and opened his first office in Beverly Hills.
In 1946, he was commissioned to build the Pandora Apartments, marking the beginning of his experimentation with gardenapartment design.
In 1954, Maston completed his portion of the quintessential California apartment complex, the National Boulevard Apartments (Maston designed one building, architect Ray Kappe the other). In 1960, he designed the now demolished Valley Ice Skating Center which featured a barrel vaulted tensile concrete roof.
