San Francisco

Welcome to our San Francisco studio

Tucked beneath the Bay Bridge overlooking the water, our studio has certainly carved out its place in the City by the Bay. Inside our LEED Platinum workplace, we spend our days designing a better future for the city around us. Research and purpose are at the forefront of everything we do: we’re committed to innovation for the greater good of our community. And, we’re proud to live up to a California stereotype or two: sustainability is non-negotiable, and keeping our cool is key.

Innovation Districts: Ingredients for a Successful Ecosystem

The design of science and technology spaces is rapidly evolving beyond their traditional settings. Today, these places of creation and discovery are transforming to create a more holistic mixture of live, work, and play. Design that intentionally promotes organic interactions between researchers, entrepreneurs, and ordinary people becomes a catalyst for scientific advancement and provides an essential ecosystem for addressing our world’s most urgent challenges.

Building 12
Historic Building 12 will be transformed into the beacon of the future Pier 70 site and the heart and soul of the neighborhood. Built in 1941, the renovation of Building 12 is envisioned as a vibrant community gathering and event space that is integral and connected to the landscape and overall site offering spectacular views of the San Francisco Bay and the city.
On the boards!
We have some exciting projects in the works - stay tuned!
