We integrate architecture, landscape and interiors to design modern residential and commercial spaces. We utilize rich material expression and small artistic details for big impact, balancing aesthetics with practicality. We revel in beautiful finishes, abundant natural light and intentional forms. We believe in architecture that feels effortless and inspires everyday life.

THE QUIET SIDE OF THE FREEWAY
80,000 square feet of affordable housing for the non-profit organization, Resources for Community Development (RCD), is situated between a bustling elevated freeway and quiet pedestrian zones in Emeryville. To balance the widely varying features of the locale, single-family type bungalows merge with smaller townhouse style units, while a larger 5-story complex features a colorful accent wall easily viewed at quick speeds from the freeway. Industrial materials such as Corten steel and corrugated metal siding, together with special acoustic detailing and an interior courtyard, insulate residents from the noisy urban surroundings.

A CITY WITHIN A CITY
At the intersection of 8th and Harrison, a full block of residential, retail, and commercial space in San Francisco’s SoMa district balances urban density with quality-of-life. Features include pedestrian zones, green spaces, eateries, and roof terraces with sweeping views of the city. Creating seven different design identities helps to reduce the scale of the block, with materials that reflect the surrounding industrial warehouse aesthetics. An innovative interior loop road for pedestrians and vehicles makes it easy to navigate the 3.5-acre site.

MIXING IN
In an ever-changing neighborhood known for its diversity and innovation, Temescal Station provides a variety of urban living opportunities. Condominiums over ground-floor retail space are mixed with townhomes that have private gardens, garages and street level entrances. Standing seam metal siding for the bustling mixed-use area contrasts with the use of natural wood accents for the residential area, both articulated with a series of minimal bay modules of windows and balconies.
