With offices in San Francisco, New York, and Honolulu, our staff of 140 works in creative shed-like studios across typologies: core and shell, interiors, education, civic, residential, and urban mixed-use. Recognized for identity-rich, site-specific design at any scale, we bring to each new project a point of view informed by all the other work in which we engage, resulting in fresh ideas that push us (and our clients) to imagine what's possible. Today's most transformative organizations — Stanford, UCSF, Airbnb, Adobe, Dolby, Intuit, and Microsoft, to name a few — have entrusted us with stewarding their brands in what has arguably become the world's center of innovation. Working with these game-changing entrepreneurs and research institutions has allowed us to push our own curiosities and export this distinct spirit of innovation to a national clientele.  We are redefining what it means to be comfortable, healthy and productive at home, work, and school. We think a lot about public /private interface, and how it might be enriched. Problem solvers and tech nerds at heart, we tinker in models, garages, even under the hood of our design software. When we talk about sustainability, we come from a net positive ideal that supports the bottom line. All of this work is bracketed by a vigorous culture of education within the studio, linking academia with practice to advance architectural excellence.
