See what we've been working on.
Market Tower
A facade-led retrofit that rethinks performance, daylight, and urban presence without losing the value of the existing structure.
Neighborhood Commons
Community-oriented housing shaped around social flow, shared thresholds, and quieter forms of density.
Lady Bird Lake Boardwalk
A civic gesture built from long sightlines, light infrastructure, and a ceremonial relationship to movement.
The Cottage
A high-end but unfussy home where livability, low maintenance, and warmth matter as much as form.
What We Do
Six practices, one studio.
From tenant improvements to ground-up construction, every project type gets the same level of care — feasibility, permitting, and build-ready drawings.
Commercial + Office
Offices, retail, and mixed-use buildings designed with feasibility, permitting, and build-ready drawings in mind.
Restaurant + Hospitality
Restaurants, cafes, and hotels where guest flow, atmosphere, and operational logic all land at once.
Residential
Custom homes, ADUs, JADUs, and remodels shaped around lifestyle, site constraints, and buildable documentation.
Multi-Family
Apartments, condos, and mixed-use housing built for density, livability, and code complexity across the Bay Area.
Sacred + Liturgical
Churches, mosques, and meditation spaces designed with reverence for ritual, light, and community gathering.
Tenant Improvement
Restaurant, retail, and adaptive-reuse build-outs with full permit expertise across San Francisco and the Bay Area.
Where We Work
